Annually, the Florida-Alabama Transportation Planning Organization (TPO) reviews the transportation priorities for the urbanized areas of the Florida-Alabama TPO region. Prioritizing these projects maximizes available resources on an annual basis when determining how to meet the greatest needs of the region.
View a detailed list of the Project Priorities and an interactive map at www.ecrc.org/FLALPriorities. Take the online survey at www.ecrc.org/FLALPrioritiesSurvey
These priorities are submitted to the Florida and Alabama Departments of Transportation for potential funding in the next five years. Projects are selected for funding based on local priority, funding availability, and project timing. There are several categories of funding for transportation projects and each category must be prioritized. To ensure transportation needs are being met, Florida-Alabama TPO needs the community's input!
