ALDOT outlines STIP timeline, online tools and public involvement plans
Loading...
Summary
ALDOT staff told the Joint Interim Committees the Statewide Transportation Improvement Program is a FHWA‑prescribed four‑year, fiscally constrained plan; agency staff said interactive online tools and an extensive public‑involvement process will support a renewal beginning in the timeframe the agency described.
Tony Harris, speaking for ALDOT, summarized the department’s Statewide Transportation Improvement Program (STIP) and its public‑involvement timeline, saying the STIP is a four‑year plan required by the Federal Highway Administration and that the agency will conduct outreach to local governments and communities as part of the next update.
"Our step is a 4 year plan, prescribed that way by the Federal Highway Administration," Harris told the committee and said the STIP is available on ALDOT’s website with interactive access by county and region.
Harris said the department expects to begin the public‑involvement process for the long‑range plan renewal in the timeframe he described as "late '27," with public meetings and coordinated outreach through regional planning commissions. He offered to provide a direct link to a public comment survey to any member who could not locate it; Senator Linda Coleman Madison asked for that link and Harris agreed to send it through her senate office.
Committee members were reminded that projects in the STIP must be fiscally constrained within the four‑year window and that ALDOT’s online tools have been enhanced to let legislators and local officials view projects by county or region.
