Choose the best explanation for how the four transportation systems of Georgia contribute to the development and growth of the state's economy.

As the transportation hub of the Southeast, Georgia depends on the transportation systems to move products and people quickly and efficiently saving businesses time and money. The transportation systems provide thousands of jobs and billions of dollars in revenue for the state.

The transportation systems are the only source of reliable revenue for the state. Without the 4 transportation systems Georgia would not have jobs available for those living in the state.

With a failing railroad system and outdated transportation equipment, the state is currently falling behind in the area of transportation. The state is recognized for its crippling transportation system causing national and international trade to depend on other states to transport goods from location to location. The four transportation systems contribute little to the economy.

With the ineffective and lack of use of the deep water ports, Georgia primarily has three transportation systems that it depends on to supply jobs and bring in revenue. The three systems bring in billions of dollars for the state while the deep water ports cost the state an excessive amount of money.

Our transportation systems are either directly or indirectly responsible for the employment of thousands of people. Over 5000 companies employ 110,000 Georgians to move goods throughout the state. Over 30,000 companies rely on cargo movers. The design, construction and maintenance of Georgia’s transportation infrastructure creates almost 110,000 full time jobs across all sectors of the state’s economy. Georgia’s deepwater ports alone support over 350,000 full and part-time jobs. Hartsfield-Jackson Airport provides more than 63,000 jobs on-site making it the state’s largest employer. AFTER READING THIS PASSAGE, WHICH OF THE FOLLOWING WOULD MAKE THE BEST CONCLUDING SENTENCE.

Georgia’s transportation systems provide a gigantic impact on the state’s economic activity and well-being.

Georgia lacks the transportation resources to sustain a powerful economy.

Georgia lacks an international airport.

In the future, hopefully Georgia will develop some sort of transportation network.
