About Get Georgia Moving

What We’re Moving For

The Get Georgia Moving coalition represents more than 50 groups of Georgia business and government leaders, transit advocates, road builders and environmentalists, who gathered together to advocate for transportation funding solutions in the 2008 legislative session. The coalition supports a referendum-based effort to generate funding to relieve congestion, ensure our air quality and promote economic development.

We feel strongly that proactive steps must be taken now to create a sustainable transportation funding system. Such a system should maintain our current transportation investments, help alleviate the current shortfall in transportation funding and allow for strategic expansion and enhancement of projects of a variety of modes.

A single “silver bullet” solution does not exist, and all proposed solutions have to be based upon clearly identified needs and priorities and include measurable benchmarks that ensure progress and guarantee accountability.
