About Get Georgia Moving
What We’re Moving For
The Get Georgia Moving coalition represents more than 100 groups of Georgia business and government leaders, transit advocates, road builders and environmentalists, who gathered together to advocate for transportation funding solutions in the 2009 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.
How We're Moving
• Functioning as a statewide advocacy organization dedicated to the pursuit of additional resources for transportation
• Serving as an open and inclusive forum for transportation policy debate and discussion
• Existing as a consensus-based vehicle for stakeholders in transportation to participate in the creation of transportation solutions at a statewide level
• Creating principle-centered, fact-based policy recommendations
• Drawing on the diversity and myriad of resources that coalition members bring to the table
• Embracing a positive approach to transportation challenges facing Georgia
• Partnering with the Governor, General Assembly, GDOT and other transportation agencies
• Gathering and disseminating relevant transportation funding research and data
• Offering the economic, environmental, social and other cases for increased transportation resources
• Providing support to decision-makers in the area of transportation funding
• Acting as a transparent and media friendly organization
• Creating value for participants by sharing information and opportunities
• Tying activities to the achievement of results
