The Georgia Transportation Alliance was founded as an

affiliate of the Georgia Chamber of Commerce in

2011. The Alliance is Georgia’s first multi-modal organization focused solely on long-term transportation solutions through economic

development, increased mobility, safety, and a globally recognized logistics industry.

The Alliance coalition includes a diverse array of partners

including engineering, highway construction, transportation

technology, traffic management, freight rail, real

estate, logistics, economic development, and aggregate

materials industries. This diversity will enable us to create the most effective

solutions.

Build upon Georgia’s strong history of transportation excellence by supporting efforts to

increase transportation funding and strengthen our state’s transportation infrastructure.

In 2012, The Alliance’s ConnectGeorgia initiative resulted in passage of the

Transportation Investment Act in Georgia’s River Valley, Heart of Georgia, and Central

Savannah Regions. This program will invest almost $2 billion into Georgia’s communities

over the next ten years.

Convene best and brightest stakeholders

Examine and research bold policy proposals

Create a statewide network of communities of interest(rural and metro)

Transportation is not an end to itself, but rather a means to an end: economic development and jobs.

Our transportation challenges have not gone away

The quality of our transportation network, just like our education and tax structure, directly affects our

ability to compete as a state.
