The Alabama Department of Transportation will host a stakeholder meeting in Huntsville Thursday evening, according to a press release.

The 2040 Statewide Transportation Plan meeting begins at 5:30 p.m. at the Top of Alabama Regional Council of Government office, 5075 Research Drive NW, Huntsville 35805.

The goal of the 2040 Statewide Transportation Plan is to summarize the current conditions of Alabama’s transportation system and its needs and priorities for the next 25 years. It addresses all modes of travel for passengers and freight — roadways and bridges, transit, bicycle/pedestrian, rail, aviation, and waterways.

The plan also identifies system needs, evaluates investments in infrastructure and maintenance, and compares historic and anticipated funding levels against needs. The resulting plan establishes the programs, policies and strategies that will be the focus of the state’s efforts.
