	New Georgia Encyclopedia: Georgia Department of Transportation
		Department of Transportation (GDOT) plans, constructs, and maintains Georgia's network of highways and bridges, while providing planning and financial support for other transportation systems ranging from airports to mass transit and bicycle trails.
		An agency of the state government, GDOT is overseen by a state transportation board that includes representatives from each of Georgia's congressional districts.
		To maintain those roadways, GDOT receives the proceeds from the state's motor fuel tax and state appropriations, as well as funds from the U.S. Department of Transportation.

	Georgia Department of Transportation
		The Georgia Department of Transportation (GDOT) plans, constructs, and maintains Georgia's network of highways and bridges, while providing planning and financial support for other transportation systems ranging from airports to mass transit and bicycle trails.
		Long known primarily for highway construction and maintenance, GDOT has broadened its agenda to include other forms of transportation, as well as such transportation innovations as NaviGAtor, an "intelligent transportation system" developed to minimize congestion and improve safety on urban expressways.
		The 1996 Olympic Games in Atlanta provided the impetus for development of NaviGAtor, a system of 1,044 highway-monitoring cameras, 63 changeable message signs, and a central traffic management system used to manage 234 miles of expressways.

	Brunswick Area Transportation Study Case Study
		Although Glynn County would host the new MPO and was its largest stakeholder based on population, an effort was made to structure the policy committee in such a way as to ensure a diversity of opinion, representing the range of stakeholders in the Brunswick area.
		In addition to GDOT, and the county and the city, the Jekyll Island Authority and the Georgia Ports Authority were included as voting members of the policy committee.
		The biggest challenge that BATS faced initially, according to a GDOT official involved in the MPO formation, was that they were unaccustomed to planning a capital program in a financially constrained environment.

	Georgia DOT's Regional Collector-Distributor System
		Item 1.1 is a newspaper article outlining a plan formulated by GDOT in the late 1980's to greatly expand about seventy miles of freeways on the north side of Atlanta by the addition of three-lane collector-distributor (CD) roads on each side of the existing eight and ten lane freeways.
		GDOT also stated the traffic volumes on the diagram from the project concept report were incorrect, and blamed Moreland-Altobelli for this, while disclaiming any understanding of how or why these values were calculated as they were.
		GDOT has elected to circumvent the legally mandated planning requirements for a project of this nature because they sensibly assume that proper regional planning review of the regional CD system would show that the project is not feasible fiscally or environmentally and therefore is ineligible for federal funding under current federal law.

	Section 30-3-20. Transportation Impact Study (TIS) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
		A TIS shall be required for all developments that have experienced a change in zoning classification after July 1, 1999 and are projected to generate one hundred fifty (150) trips during the adjacent street AM or PM peak hour or fifteen hundred (1,500) daily trips.
		Additional trips shall be determined by subtracting the gross trip generation of the existing use from the gross trip generation of the proposed use.
		GDOT will maintain traffic count information on all signalized intersections within the city limits of Greensboro; therefore, counts at these intersections will not be required as a part of the TIS preparation.

	Georgia Department of Transportation (GDOT) - Hall of Shame \| Project for Public Spaces (PPS)
		GDOT intends to cut 32-foot (urban) and 50-foot (rural) "clear zones" along over 1500 miles of highways throughout Georgia, destroying thousands of acres of trees.
		GDOT cites overall crash and fatality data as the justification for this program, but initial analysis of some sections planned to be cut do not support this effort.
		GDOT refuses to listen to citizen groups who have presented analysis to show this program is unjustified and GDOT deserves to be the first organization inducted into the Hall of Shame.

		GDOT Commentary: It seems that the disruption to the surrounding area, cost, and impacts on the safety of the motorists should be weighed against the need for pedestrian accommodation.
		GDOT Comment: The 6 foot minimum length requirement for cut-through islands apparently is intended to provide a storage area for pedestrians waiting on a crossing signal.
		GDOT Comment: The GDOT agrees that it is a challenge for a pedestrian (especially a vision-impaired pedestrian) to cross a roundabout.

		In their view, GDOT designs are not to be second-guessed by local officials and citizen groups.
		But for that to be meaningful, GDOT would have to compromise its adherence to the Green Book dictum -- provide a safe high-speed trip -- to also consider aesthetics, pedestrian comfort and the local vision for the affected area.
		Because the GDOT controls money legislators are seeking for their districts, traditionally it's been difficult to pass bills that the GDOT opposes.

		By GDOT counts, current traffic is estimated at 8,600 vehicles per day through the downtown area.
		Taking into consideration input from the meeting, as well as written comments that can be made through May 18, GDOT officials will begin the design process.
		According to Pope, the immediate goal is to narrow down the options, using combinations of proposals if necessary, with the hopes of returning in the fall with just two proposals for the public to decide on.

		GDOT's efforts in seeking mitigation credits by assisting with remediation work along the creek "are on the back burner," said Susan Knudson, GDOT section chief for ecology and permitting.
		GDOT has placed any work on hold because what had originally been perceived as multiple property owners cooperating has dwindled to one property.
		Buzz Williams, executive director with the Chattooga Conservancy, said GDOT was concerned about unchecked development that might affect its mitigation efforts.

		Except as otherwise provided in this Constitution, private property shall not be taken for private use without the consent of the owner, nor for public use without just compensation being first made therefor.
		GDOT argues the condemnation is unconstitutional because the property is being taken for private and not public use. We agree.
		The trial court held that County’s lease to SAIT for a marine terminal qualifies as a “public use” and therefore County’s taking of GDOT’s property is constitutionally permitted. He distinguished our decision in Karesh v.

	Georgia - Exemplary Ecosystem Initiatives - Natural Environment - FHWA
		One of these high-quality sites is the Flint River Ravines Tract--a GDOT stream mitigation bank nestled in the rolling hills and ridges where Georgia's Piedmont makes its sharp descent into the Coastal Plain.
		The 1,300-acre site was in danger of being subdivided into a riverfront residential development of 5-acre "ranchettes." The Conservation Fund, acting as an intermediary between GDOT and a large timber company, signed a real estate purchase option on the site, allowing GDOT the additional time it needed to conduct biological studies and schedule funding.
		Increased participation of local, State, and Federal partners in the identification and purchase of public lands is fostering a culture of respect and trust between different interest groups and promoting a holistic approach to transportation enhancement activities in Georgia.

	ARC, GDOT, GRTA ponder congestion - Atlanta Business Chronicle: (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
		Top transportation officials gathered Thursday at Chateau Elan in search of new ways to alleviate congestion in metro Atlanta at the first-ever joint board retreat of the Atlanta Regional Commission, Georgia Department of Transportation and Georgia Regional Transportation Authority.
		Several speakers noted that Georgians might be less receptive to either proposal than ever before, given the recent jump in gas prices and the fact that many metro-area counties already have local option sales taxes for transportation purposes.
		GDOT Commissioner Harold Linnenkohl provided an update on what the department actually has in the works for fiscal 2006, including more traffic signal synchronization projects, an expansion of the Highway Emergency Response Operators (HERO) program, and the installation of additional lights on interstate ramps, which he said had proven "unpopular" but effective at unsnarling traffic.

		I don't know about you folks, but I consider a policy which removes contact information for GDOT staff and officials from their web page, forbids direct access to employees by the press, and does it under the slogan "Openness and Transparency" just a bit on the Orwellian side.
		As a neighborhood activist I'm fully aware that if I go to the GDOT's website and find a person in the operations department any answer I receive is not an official pronouncement of the GDOT, but is an informed opinion based on that particular staffer's vantage point.
		I've been assembling links to websites on various public transit modes in order to make sense of the various proposals which are floating around not just for the Beltline, but for other components of our regional transportation system.
