The federal government has tapped Georgia Tech to run a $7 million dollar effort to tackle transportation issues in the state and the southeast. The funding comes as a campaign for a transportation sales tax moves forward. "It puts us in a great position to think regionally as we look at our transportation opportunities and problems," said Ken Stewart of Tech.
