Lt. Governor Casey Cagle and Senate Majority Whip Steve Gooch, R-Dahlonega, last week led the unanimous passage of Senate Bill 6, creating the Georgia Regional Transit Council (GRTC), which will establish a statewide strategic transit plan to enhance Georgia's transportation infrastructure. "We are bringing all the relevant stakeholders together to ensure that we maximize our state's resources, making our entire infrastructure safer and more efficient," Cagle said in a Feb. 22 press release. "We are committed to addressing the transportation demands of today, but we must do so with an understanding of what the future infrastructure needs will be several years from now - with the continued breakthroughs in technology."
