Issue Position: Transportation & Infrastructure

Issue Position

The state of Georgia is fortunate to have Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport, the greatest economic engine in the southeast, and the Port of Savannah, which is a fast-growing entity here in Georgia. The Port of Savannah is quickly becoming one of the largest shipping ports in the country. Due to entities like these, Georgia is a hub for the logistics industry, and with the increase of goods and services manufactured in this state and the massive population growth, our demands on our infrastructure will only increase in the future.

It is key for us to invest in our roads and bridges and ways to better transport goods, services, and even people from point A to point B through transit. I am a proponent of special lanes such as truck lanes or passenger lanes that are built to accommodate certain types of transit. It is important to be proactive and be careful to make the right investments into the transportation and infrastructure in Georgia.
