The Transportation Investment Act of 2010 (TIA2010) provides a legal mechanism in which regions throughout the state have the ability to impose a 1% sales tax to fund needed transportation improvements within their region. TIA2010 establishes 12 transportation districts throughout Georgia that follow state designated Regional Commission (RC) boundaries. Additionally, the law established Regional Transportation Roundtables (RTRs) consisting of elected officials from the counties and cities, and three non‐voting legislators that make up a transportation district. The RTRs are charged with approving an investment list of transportation projects. This list will be selected by the RTR from an unconstrained example list provided by the Georgia Department of Transportation (GDOT) Director of Planning based on recommendations from the RTR Executive Committee. An overview of the project selection process is provided in the graphic below.

TIA2010 Project Selection Process

In the summer of 2012, voters in each of the 12 regions will have the opportunity to vote yes or no on an additional one percent sales tax for transportation in their region. No counties or municipalities are permitted to be exempt from the tax if approved. After the 10 year period, a region can reinstate the tax through the same process as described above.


Final Investment List and Project Costs This document comprises the Final Investment List for the Southwest Georgia region. The list represents the transportation projects proposed to be funded through TIA 2010 tax revenue. The projects have been submitted by local governments, MPOs and GDOT. This list is constrained by the projected tax revenues for the region while maximizing public benefits. It should be noted that this list reflects projects to be funded from the regional share (75%) of the region’s TIA2010 revenues, and that by formula 25% of the overall funds, called discretionary funds, will be available to local governments for projects that are more local in nature. Those projects have not yet been identified and are not included in this document. Individuals interested in learning more about how these discretionary funds will be used within their community should contact their local elected officials and/or planning and public works staff members. The Final Investment List totals $340,042,401 (75% number of 2011 adjusted) of TIA funds in current year dollars. The Roundtable recognizes, however, that the adopted estimate for the TIA is at least $397,784,080 (75% of actual collections), when adjusted from current year to year of expenditure, and could be as high as the inflation adjusted revenue estimate. As projects are constructed, project estimates will be adjusted for economic inflation. Additional information for each project on the Final Investment List is contained on fact sheets included in this Report. These fact sheets show the project’s location and provide details on the scope, need and purpose, anticipated benefits, and other information used in the Roundtable’s decision making process. Anticipated Schedule for Projects The timeframe for the transportation sales tax is ten years or when the projected revenue is collected. Funding for projects will be commensurate with available funding therefore tied to revenue collected and schedule of collections. Based on this, typically a particular project (PE, ROW, CST) will have activity throughout the transportation sales tax period (10 years) vs. only occurring within a certain calendar year. Below, is a listing of projects and their anticipated schedules as far as being under construction.

Program/ Administration Fee x x x Projected Revenue During the Transportation Sales Tax Period The timeframe for the collection of the transportation sales tax is ten years or when the projected revenue, per the state economist, is collected. This region chose the base case growth scenario for revenue projections as provided by the state economist. Based on these assumptions, this region anticipates to collect a grand total of $530,378,773 during the transportation sales tax collection. Seventy‐five percent ($397,784,080) of this grand total is regulated to the projects contained on the Final Investment List and twenty‐five percent ($132,594,693) will be allocated to each jurisdiction within the Southwest Georgia region per the LARP formula as discretionary funds. Next Steps The October 15, 2011 deadline has been met, therefore the next step is for the public vote to take place in July 2012. If the public votes in favor of the transportation sales tax, then the revenue will start collections in January 2013. However, if the public votes not in favor of the transportation sales tax, then the transportation sales tax will not be levied and the question (i.e. opportunity) to levy the tax cannot be revisited until after 24 months immediately following the month in which the vote was held.

This route is the City of Bainbridge`s number one priority project due to the high volume of agricultural and commercial traffic and the associated safety concerns. Decatur County shares this belief and has designated Whigham Dairy Road as their number one priority as well. Whigham Dairy Road is a heavily utilized county route that moves agricultural and commercial goods. The road needs a turning lane in order to facilitate the amount of traffic that traverses this road. By adding an additional land as well as dedicating this road as the truck route, a large number of commercial vehicles would be removed from the downtown Bainbridge area, eliminating traffic congestion and would allow for easier local traffic movement. Along the current truck route, several properties have been damaged as a result of the constricted area within which large commercial trucks must maneuver.
