You can take action on this alert by reading the information below and following the directions at the bottom.

The Georgia Legislature is debating two very different approaches to funding transportation.

The solution passed by the House of Representatives would impose a one-cent sales tax to pay for a statewide list of transportation projects. Although the list includes several transit projects, it specifies a large number of road projects, including highway lane expansions and a tunnel beneath Atlanta. There is no guarantee that the transit projects will be built because the cost of the listed projects is certain to exceed the revenue raised by the tax.

The regional TSPLOST approach favored by the Senate provides regions flexibility and control over the project list, making it easier to fund transit and reject proposals to fund more road expansion.
