ORTATION IS AN IMPORTANT PART OF OUR REGION'S GROWTH AND QUALITY OF LIFE
Our transportation system, with its vast network of roads, bus routes, rail lines, sidewalks, and bicycle paths is the backbone of the Mobile Area. Coordinated planning of that system is critical to the continued growth of our local and regional economies. Planning is also important to ensure that as the system grows to manage the traffic congestion caused by economic development, it does it in a way that is sensitive to our region's valuable natural and community resources.

Freight Transportation Planning The ability to better predict freight growth and see changes in freight movement more clearly and rapidly is the heart of our new freight transportation planning. Big changes in our business and industrial communities call for bold, innovative initiatives to enhance our abilities as transportation infrastructure planners to support such change. At SARPC, we are embracing our future with new methodologies we feel may have effective applications in other mid size metropolitan areas across the country. |
