ATLANTA– Today Governor Sonny Perdue announced that he has submitted the required “1511 Certification” on transit projects around the state that will be funded through the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act.
“These funds will provide needed assistance to rural and urban transit systems across our state, including Park and Ride lots in Metro Atlanta for commuters to meet up and carpool or take transit,” said Governor Perdue.
Governor Perdue submitted the certification as part of a June 2 letter to US DOT Secretary Ray LaHood. In the letter, the Governor informed Secretary LaHood that more projects will be certified as the Georgia DOT and Metropolitan Planning Organizations (MPOs) amend their TIPs to include additional projects.
