The Transportation Division encompasses all aspects of transportation, including maintaining and repairing existing
streets, roads, and sidewalks, the planning and financing of existing roads and future proposed roads. This division
will also interact with Federal, State, and County agencies to meet the current and future transit, mobility, and
transportation needs of the community. The department works with other utilities to insure a collective effort for all
utility maintenance prior to beginning roadway maintenance or new construction. Rehabilitation and maintenance of
roadways are funded by both an approximate $1.25 million annual general fund transfer and an approximate $3.2
million annual 1/4 cent sales tax collected and assigned to street maintenance. The department assists in
coordinating transportation projects and related issues, as well as, to provide support to both the Georgetown
Transportation Enhancement Corporation (GTEC) and the Georgetown Transportation Advisory Board (GTAB).
