Georgia's Honorarium
Honorarium is the process to acknowledge individuals or groups from Georgia by the Georgia General Assembly for their contributions to the state. The Georgia Department of Transportation (GDOT) Honorarium Program is currently maintained by the Office of Transportation Data (OTD). Honorariums can be named for
Scenic Byways, Trails/Walkways, Interstates, Interchange, an Intersection, a bridge, and an overpass, if available on the primary state route systems of interest. Per OCGA §32-4-3, dedications are limited to the state route system. Therefore,
local (county and city) roads and bridges are not eligible for dedication.
The process requires a “conflict status check” on information provided by the GDOT Legislative Liaison regarding request(s) from members of the Georgia Legislature. Conflict status here refers to whether the area of interest has already been named or is available for naming. Based on the available data on OTD's database, OTD confirms the accuracy and availability of the honorarium naming request. Results of OTD’s research regarding conflict or no conflict status are submitted to the GDOT Legislative Liaison who sends an official GDOT letter to the requesting legislator.

NOTE: In accordance with OCGA §32-4-3, road dedications must be introduced and adopted by the General Assembly and enacted by the Governor’s signature. These dedications are limited to roads and bridges on the state route system. GDOT’s role in the dedication process includes reviewing existing records and confirming via a “conflict status” letter if there are any existing dedications previously enacted by the General Assembly or—prior to 2002—adopted by the State Transportation Board and its predecessors. Upon enactment, GDOT will coordinate with dedication sponsors on executing the enacted dedication resolution(s).
