State Rep. Bill McGee said an increase in funding for transportation is needed.

"I don't think it's any doubt that if more funding were available it would be put to good and immediate use," McGee said.

McGee is a member of the 21st Century Transportation Committee. The committee is studying the infrastructure needs of the state.

Projects in Forsyth County, the district McGee represents, have been delayed year after year because of low funds, he said.

The Department of Transportation also needs to finish the major roads across the state, which would relieve traffic congestion and tie-ups, he added.

"I think that's something that needs immediate attention," McGee said.
