Price Secures $47 Million in Transportation Funding

Washington, DC - Congressman Tom Price (GA-6) helped secure $47 million for the Sixth District in federal highway funding upon passage of the Conference Report for the Transportation Equity Act: A Legacy for Users (TEA-LU).

"This legislation will help address the problems of congestion in Metro Atlanta and driver safety," said Price. "After much work and many years, we have a bill that not only tackles those issues but a bill that will create jobs and fund priority federal highway projects in the Sixth District."

"As someone who's had the honor of representing Georgia's 6th District, I understand how critical this legislation is to the district," Isakson said. "It will provide the region with the tools necessary to improve and expand its surface transportation infrastructure to meet the demands of a growing population."

"Congressman Price provided much leadership during the legislative process and has greatly assisted Cobb County with significant high priority projects," said Cobb County Board of Commissioners Chairman, Sam Olens.
