Gwinnett Daily Post | Committee tasked with allocating potential transportation funds meets

LAWRENCEVILLE — A citizen committee got started Monday determining how to allocate the potential money from a special purpose local option sales tax referendum that will be voted on Nov. 5.

The nine-member committee has been tasked with making recommendations for the allocation of funds for 10 categories under transportation. The categories include:

Transportation planning
Residential speed control
Unpaved roads
Capital projects rehabilitation and resurfacing
Bridges, culverts and transportation drainage
Road safety and alignment
School safety
Sidewalks and pedestrian safety
Intersections
Major roads

If passed, the 2013 SPLOST is expected to generate more than $200 million in transportation funding.
