The Georgia Department of Transportation (Georgia DOT), Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) and The Ray announced that the public-private-philanthropic partnership has signed a formal charter that defines the parties’ full commitment to working in partnership on the living transportation innovation laboratory along 18 miles of Interstate 85, known as The Ray.
“The Ray is a unique opportunity for Georgia DOT and the entire state to lead during a time of great innovation and change in transportation,” said Lynn Westmoreland, State Transportation Board member. He continued, “This broad partnership is also an opportunity for Georgia to attract economic development, research and development, new jobs and tech start-ups in the transportation and infrastructure sectors.”
