    Virtual Open House for Local Transportation Priorities - OPEN NOW!


    The Florida-Alabama Transportation Planning Organization (TPO) is holding a Virtual Open House from Monday, April 19 to Friday, April 30, 2021, to garner community insight on the transportation priorities. The Virtual Open House, available now at www.ecrc.org/FLALPriorities, provides community members the opportunity to read the material at their own pace and share their thoughts on the transportation priorities.
     
    Visit the Virtual Open House today to:
    • View draft priority projects on an interactive map
    • Learn more about the annual prioritization process
    • Share input with the online survey
    • Subscribe to stay involved in the TPO process
    Annually, the Florida-Alabama Transportation Planning Organization (TPO) reviews the transportation priorities for the urbanized areas of Escambia and Santa Rosa counties in Florida and Orange Beach and the community of Lillian in Alabama. Prioritizing these projects maximizes available resources on an annual basis when determining how to meet the greatest needs of the region. 

    To ensure that the transportation needs are being met, we need your input! These priorities are submitted to the Alabama and Florida Departments of Transportation for potential funding in the next five years. Projects are selected for funding based upon local priority, funding availability, and project timing. There are several categories of funding for transportation projects and each category must be prioritized. 

    VIRTUAL PUBLIC WORKSHOP
    The TPO will host a virtual public workshop on Tuesday, April 27, 2021, at 5 p.m. to answer your questions about the project priorities process.
