• Abstract:
  Georgia has benefited from a comprehensive multimodal transportation network. The availability of road, air, rail and port transportation facilities has been a magnet for business development and economic activity. The ability to connect goods to markets and people to destinations is a key factor determining the quality of life and creating new opportunities for our State. But the completion of the Interstate System and the rapid development of a global marketplace have placed new demands on the intermodal network. In response to an era of rapid change and challenge, the Department invited the Transportation 2000 Commission, a group of public and private citizens, to create a new Vision of transportation for Georgia's future. Vision 2000 emphasizes adequate multimodal transportation capacity and safety. The Board of Transportation adopted the Transportation 2000 Vision. This powerful vision recognizes the strategic importance of transportation to Georgia's future.
