Advocates say Alabama falls behind when it comes to public transportation.
letterAlabama is one of three states that don’t allocate state funds to public transportation. The state does have a public transportation trust fund that was created in 2018.

Steve Clouse, R-Ozark, says there is already a list of items the money could go towards. Hyden is calling upon local leaders to use their ARPA funds to try to meet their public transportation needs.
