In order to improve the safety, efficiency, and future sustainability of the state's transportation system, the Georgia Department of Transportation has applied for a competitive federal loan to make important changes in the greater Atlanta area. As an Atlanta auto accident lawyer, I am encouraged that our state is one of the finalists for the federal Transportation Infrastructure Finance and Innovation Act (TIFIA) loan.
How Georgia Would Use TIFIA Money
34 states submitted letters of interest to the federal government regarding TIFIA, and eight states, including Georgia, have been invited to submit applications for the low interest loan money.* Georgia is requesting money for the Interstates 75 and 575 Northwest Corridor managed lane project that will go through Cherokee County and Cobb County. TIFIA could loan Georgia up to $270 million to complete this important project, which would be the foundation for a managed lane network throughout the Atlanta area.
