Abstract:This volume is the first in a series. The other volume in the series is FHWA-GA-20-1918 Volume II: Assessing the Impact of Federal Requirements on GDOT Project Portfolio – Volume II. The Georgia Department of Transportation (GDOT) is responsible for the state’s roads, bridges, interstate highways and other modes of transportation. In 2015, Georgia House Bill 170 (HB170) was enacted to create additional state revenue for transportation projects through a combination of new revenue sources (e.g., fuel, vehicle, and hotel taxes) and the elimination of certain tax breaks. Since its inception, HB170 funding has offered GDOT benefits such as increased flexibility in project delivery and the opportunity to deliver greater public benefit to citizens. Furthermore, GDOT has also been able to use HB170 to fund new projects managed entirely within a modified state process. New administrative complexity was introduced alongside the benefits of HB170: GDOT had to make an initial decision on process and funding source – and revisit those decisions over time. GDOT felt a need to formalize and standardize the process and funding decisions, ensuring the right inputs were present early to make better decisions across the project lifecycle. To address that need, in the fall of 2019, GDOT undertook an effort to develop a new funding allocation process. This effort resulted in a Flow Chart Decision Tool that details the logic flow of project attributes and considerations that would result in a decision to 1) follow a state process and use state funds, 2) follow a federal process and use federal funds or 3) take a hybrid approach. The research report consists of two volumes. Volume I includes a white paper summary of the background and benefits of HB170 funds, and the funding allocation process.
