Public Involvement

The Public Involvement Plan for the I-65 / US 31 Mobility Matters Project is designed to involve governmental agencies and the public as participants in the project development process and allow these participants to provide meaningful input to the outcomes of the project.

The Public Involvement Plan provides tools for both disseminating project-related information and gathering input that reflects community concerns and interests.  Citizens and community leaders are encouraged to actively participate in the project development process for the I-65 / US 31 Mobility Matters Project.

Two public meetings have been held: on September 2, 2008 at the RPC of Greater Birmingham in downtown Birmingham and on September 9, 2008 at Shades Mountain Elementary School in Hoover.  Information from those meetings is available by clicking here or by selecting the Project Collateral and Information tab on the left.

Another round of public outreach events was held March 31, 2009 throughout the day in various venues in the Birmingham metro area--BJCTA Central Station in the morning, Riverchase Galleria Mall in the afternoon, and the Birmingham-Homewood Holiday Inn in the early evening.  The purpose of these informal sessions was to collect information from the public about potential transit locations along I-65.
