It’s been one year since AL passed an infrastructure plan that invests in our state’s future. The #RebuildAL plan is already at work creating more jobs and safer roads. Thank you, @GovernorKayIvey, and all those who supported this effort that will benefit all Alabamians!
Today marks one year since I signed the #RebuildAL Act! With the support of the Legislature, AL is already reaping the benefits. When fully implemented, it'll generate about $300 M a year that’ll be directly invested in our roads & bridges. #alpolitics

Big news for local roads and bridges! Another funding component of the Rebuild Alabama Act that addresses local road and bridge projects in the state that are long-overdue #FixALroads#RebuildAL
It takes 15+ hours behind the wheel & 1,000+ miles to drive from Montgomery to New York City.
In 2020, that's how many miles of road Ala. county governments plan to improve with the proceeds of the new fuel taxes being paid by motorists. https://t.co/6hACcEQ5kD #alpolitics
Great projections released by @AlabamaCounties on how Rebuild AL will impact county roads and bridges across the state in 2020: 1,013 road miles of road to be improved and 20 bridges will receive long-overdue maintenance #FixALroads https://t.co/uLIe6JH1T3
Exciting news regarding the @RebuildAL plan. Better roads and bridges will be popping up all across the state through the @AlabamaCounties transportation programs. Be on the lookout for a Rebuild Alabama sign near you! #FixALroads#alpolitics

Continuing the promise of transparency & accountability in the @RebuildAL Act, Ala. county commissions are making their 2020 road & bridge construction plans available for public inspection. The plans can be found on the ACCA website here: https://t.co/k0gi8O9TP8

The Alliance for AL’s Infrastructure joined @GovernorKayIvey and local leaders in Colbert County for a Rebuild AL press conference to highlight local funding. Rebuild AL invests dollars into state & local roads, as well as both urban & rural communities #FixALroads#alpolitics
#RebuildAL transparency measures showcased extraordinarily by @AlabamaCounties! See which local projects AL counties will be eagerly addressing with the new transportation funding!
The @RebuildAL Act will soon provide critical, long-awaited funds to Ala. counties for use strictly toward county roads & bridges. To see how counties will use their first dollars, visit https://t.co/k0gi8O9TP8 for a complete list of 2020 County Transportation Plans. #alpolitics
Just a fun fact for the day:
Average price per gallon of regular gas a week ago - $2.22
Average price per gallon of regular gas today (after the 6-cent gas tax increase effective Sept. 1) - $2.21
One cent lower after the increase

Rebuild Alabama funding continues address industry and community concerns across the state #RebuildAL#FixALroads#alpolitics

4. This is a conservative & fiscally responsible investment, with strong accountability/oversight measures built-in. Taxpayers can rest easy knowing this funding will only go towards the construction/ maintenance of infrastructure #RebuildAL#alpolitics
2. Minimal cost to driver - the 6-cent increase results in a $2.72 additional cost per vehicle per month
3. AL’s overall tax burden will continue to be one of the lowest in the U.S. #RebuildAL#alpolitics
The first part of Alabama’s 10-cent fuel tax increase goes into effect Sept. 1. It is a 6-cent hike and expected to generate about $192 million during the coming fiscal year.
This is how the first such increase since 1992 will impact you: https://t.co/m13lJwERI3
Great points made in this article on AL's gas tax increase that shouldn't be overlooked:
1. Huge local impact - all 67 counties & every municipality will receive add'l revenue to be used for roads and bridges
