About the Office for Infrastructure, Logistics and Transportation

The Office for Infrastructure, Logistics , and Transportation is working on an  exciting project for the U.S. Department of Transportation to assess and improve transportation and logistics in the state of Alabama. 

The automotive, aerospace and defense, aviation, aerospace and logistics and  distribution industries are growing and transforming the Alabama economy. Increasingly these manufacturers depend on infrastructure for international import and export as well as for just-in-time delivery.  Sustaining the growth of these industry clusters requires an adequate infrastructure, one that includes highway, rail, air cargo and sea.

OILT’s task will include an assessment of the current infrastructure capabilities to identify the current and future infrastructure needs of the major industry clusters in Alabama.  Survey results will help us develop infrastructure and transportation strategies to meet those needs.
