ACEC Georgia is working with ACEC National and various partners to lobby on behalf of continued funding of the Transportation Investment Generating Economic Recovery (TIGER) program at or above the FY16 level, as well as the full funding of the Transit Capital Investment Grants program at the FAST Act authorization level of $2.3 billion.
As part of this effort, ACEC Georgia signed a letter at the end of last month, along with key statewide and national organizations, requesting the continued funding of these programs. The letter was sent to
the Chairmen and Ranking Members of the Senate Committee on Appropriations, Senate Subcommittee on Transportation, Housing and Urban Development, House Committee on Appropriations and House Subcommittee on Transportation, Housing and Urban Development.
To read the full letter, click here. We will continue to work on this issue going forward. If you have any thoughts or questions, email sully@acecga.org.
