Rebuild Alabama Act
The Rebuild Alabama Act, overwhelmingly passed by the Legislature in 2019, requires ALDOT to establish an annual program setting aside a minimum of $10 million off the top of the state’s share of gas tax revenue for local projects.
“From day one of the Ivey Administration, I have made clear to the people of our state that improving Alabama’s roads and bridges is a top priority, and I am proud we continue delivering on that promise. Our work is not done, and we will continue delivering results in all 67 of our counties.”
~ Gov. Kay Ivey
More than $15 million in state transportation funds has been awarded through the application-based program during the 2024 fiscal year. This was the first year ALDOT funded the Annual Grant Program above the minimum $10 million required under the Rebuild Alabama Act.
