The 9th Annual Alabama Civil Engineering Legislative Day Drive-In was held on March 11, 2026, in Montgomery. This year’s event was a tremendous success, bringing together members of the Alabama Section of the American Society of Civil Engineers and ACEC Alabama to engage directly with state leaders and advocate for the civil engineering profession. We were especially grateful to have Clyde Chambliss, P.E., join us to discuss key issues and legislation impacting infrastructure and our industry.
From the legislative briefing and discussions at the Alabama Department of Archives & History to visits at the Alabama State House, our members demonstrated the importance of being actively involved in the legislative process. The opportunity to connect one-on-one with legislators and share perspectives on infrastructure needs across Alabama is critical to ensuring our profession has a strong and effective voice.
Events like Legislative Day reinforce the vital role civil engineers play not only in designing and maintaining infrastructure, but also in shaping the policies that guide our communities’ future. Participation helps promote informed decision-making and strengthens advocacy efforts across the state.
We encourage everyone to continue building on this momentum by staying engaged with local representatives and participating in future advocacy initiatives. Together, we can continue to elevate the civil engineering profession and make a lasting impact on Alabama’s infrastructure.
