If you're from Georgia, you know that the GADOT are total morons.
Just look at the southeastern rail corridors. Brightline from Miami to Orlando with extension already planned to Jacksonville. Fast rail service being developed from Raleigh to DC. And what's GADOT doing to be part of the future for the region?
Well, nothing. Literally nothing. Making the ATL->SAV Amtrak cooridor take as long as possible. But at least they're going to gift a few dozen millions of dollars to NS and the major cargo shippers by raising the Talmadge (edit: while already planning its BILLION dollar replacement).
Well, surely they're out there in Atlanta fixing the unspeakable terrible congestion by helping pay for common-sense, costsaving mass transit, right?
Nope. More highways.
How about rural GA? Are they at least making sure the state roads are safe and well-maintained? Wait, why are you walking away?
When FLORIDA's transportation planners are making you look bad, you've got a fucking problem.
