Why is the U.S. 280 Corridor Transit Study being performed? What is the relationship with ALDOT's proposed elevated roadway project?
This corridor is being studied as a result of the Birmingham Regional Transportation Alternatives Analysis completed in 2004, which recommended that a detailed analysis of the U.S. 280 Corridor be performed to identify feasible transit options. This study is funded through a grant from the Federal Transit Administration (FTA) and it is a completely separate effort from any Alabama Department of Transportation's (ALDOT) roadway improvement plans. However, ALDOT and the RPC are coordinating with each other on their respective studies.
