4. GEORGIA FREIGHT FACTS (CONT’D.)
• Freight & transportation-related jobs account for
almost 15% of jobs in the state
• Georgia is home to six of the top 50 cargo carriers,
including the world’s largest -- UPS
• Efficient transportation networks are a primary driver
of business location decisions
• Cargo from Georgia is within two or less days of 80% of
the nation’s commercial & industrial markets
Georgia is the major hub for freight movement
in the Southeast

8. GEORGIA’S STRATEGIC TRANSPORTATION PLAN: GOALS AND OBJECTIVES
:cost of fuel, wasted time, etc.

9. GEORGIA’S STRATEGIC TRANSPORTATION PLAN
•Senate Bill 200 launched Georgia’s first statewide
transportation “business case”
•Goal: “Inform and guide the overall public dialogue away
from input-based methods of spending government funds
to a new paradigm of results-based investments in public
infrastructure to support economic growth”

10. GEORGIA’S STRATEGIC TRANSPORTATION PLAN
•Plan does not favor “planes, trains or automobiles”; it
favors performance per taxpayer dollar invested.
– Quantifies employers’ access to ‘talent pools’
– Identifies concept of reliable 30-45 minute commute
area workers
– Emphasis on efficient and affordable freight
movement

11. GEORGIA’S STRATEGIC TRANSPORTATION PLAN
•Allocation of current & new resources
– Discusses limitations of current resources &what
desired outcomes can be achieved with more revenue
– Four investment ‘portfolios’ based on availability &
flexibility of resources
– Specific recommendation that any new revenues be
strategically deployed & effectively governed

12. AT CURRENT TRANSPORTATION INVESTMENT LEVELS:
GEORGIA’S OUTLOOK IS GRIM
Year 2030 outlook*
▪ Economic upside (GDP & jobs) from port expansion is at
risk--despite investments in ‘last-mile’ connectivity
Freight
Transport ▪ Other growth opportunities may head to competitors (e.g.,
Norfolk & NY/NJ) as our priority freight corridors see 60%
peak increase without corresponding capacity investments
Metro ▪ Per capita congestion costs nearly double today’s levels
Atlanta ▪ Employment center talent pools 33% smaller than today
people ▪ Core transit system operating at 70% of current levels
mobility ▪ Xpress bus service & other transit systems cut or eliminated
▪ Medium-sized cities--at best--experience “Atlanta-like” or
Medium-sized “Charlotte-like” levels of congestion…at worst, population
city and rural & job growth choked off before that occurs
area people ▪ Safety improves, but rural job center accessibility remains
mobility unchanged (e.g., minimal investment in Governor’s Road
Improvement Program ”GRIP”)
*Assumes current resources allocated primarily towards people mobility in metro Atlanta and rest of state, as reflected in Funding Level 1

14. “Transportation Investment Act of 2010”
(Georgia House Bill 277)
• Passed by the Legislature last week
• Creates 12 Special Tax Districts for transportation that follow
Regional Commission boundaries. No county within a District is
allowed to “opt out”.
• In the general primary election in 2012, citizens will vote to levy a
special District transportation tax to fund a specific list of projects
• Director of Planning will establish the criteria for a District’s list
• Each District will establish a Regional Transportation Roundtable,
who will create, review, amend & approve their Districts’ list,
working in collaboration with the Director of Planning
• The tax is levied for a 10-year term.
• Revenues invested in the District where the funds are collected.

15. GDOT’S EXISTING FREIGHT INITIATIVES
• Central Georgia Corridor Study (2003)
• Interstate System Plan (2004)
• Freight Planning Guide Book (2004)
• Statewide Freight Plan (2006)
• Created a new “Freight Coordinator” position in the
Office of Planning (2007)
• Statewide Truck-Only Lane Feasibility Study* (2008)
• Managed Lanes System Plan (2009)
• Statewide Strategic Transportation Plan (2010)
*Received Honorable Mention for U.S. DOT’s Planning Excellence Award

16. GDOT’S STATE & NATIONAL FREIGHT PARTNERSHIPS
• Latin America Trade & Transportation Study
• Institute for Trade & Transportation, member
• Commission for New Georgia’s “Freight &
Logistics Task Force”
• I-95 Corridor Coalition
• Continental 1 Corridor Coalition
• El Camino/US 84 Corridor Coalition

17. STATEWIDE FREIGHT & LOGISTICS PLAN
• Currently under early development
• Will set specific goals and performance
measures for all modes of freight movement
–Strategic guidance for programs & projects
that will improve the flow of commerce into,
out of, and through Georgia
–Provide options & strategies for addressing
short, medium and long-term freight
transportation needs and improvements

18. STATEWIDE FREIGHT & LOGISTICS PLAN (CONT’D.)
SUPPLY:
• Analyze all assets in Georgia’s freight transportation
network:
– highways
– public & private railroads
– intermodal terminals & connectors
– ports & inland waterways
– airports
• Evaluate the capacity for capturing opportunities for
freight to shift among modes

19. STATEWIDE FREIGHT & LOGISTICS PLAN (CONT’D.)
DEMAND:
• Identify major freight origin & destination
hubs (including warehouse/distribution)
• Identify major freight corridors for each mode,
including significant freight bottlenecks for all
modes
• Last-mile connectivity issues around Port of
Savannah & other key locations

20. STATEWIDE FREIGHT & LOGISTICS PLAN (CONT’D.)
• Develop a range of economic forecasts
• Forecast future freight flow volumes and trends
• Determine benefit-to-cost ratios for identified
needs & projects
• Identify performance metrics for matching supply
& demand to evaluate projects that improve
freight movement & logistics operations

21. STATEWIDE FREIGHT & LOGISTICS PLAN (CONT’D.)
• Outreach mechanisms and input forthcoming:
– Extensive Private Sector Involvement
throughout
– Elected Officials’ Guidance & Briefings
– Cross-cutting Public Agency Outreach &
Cooperation
– General Public Input & Education
– Coordination with other initiatives, such as
today’s Georgia Freight Summit

25. STATEWIDE FREIGHT & LOGISTICS PLAN (CONCLUSION)
Final product will be an Action Plan that:
 Identifies critical needs for all modes (rail, highway,
water, air)
 Addresses freight bottlenecks and critical “last mile”
locations
 Considers benefit-to-cost analyses, environmental
considerations and constructability
 Delivers a strategic framework for policy-makers to
deliver projects that will improve the flow of goods and
support Georgia’s economic development goals
 Recognizes funding and resource trends
