We are thrilled to share the highlights from the successful 8th Annual Alabama Civil Engineering Legislative Day Drive-In, which took place on Tuesday, April 8, 2025, in Montgomery, Alabama. Hosted jointly by the Alabama Section of the American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) and the American Council of Engineer Companies (ACEC) of Alabama, the event brought together civil engineers, legislators, and stakeholders for a day focused on legislative issues impacting our profession.
The day commenced at 10:00 a.m. at the historic Alabama Department of Archives & History, where attendees gathered for a Legislative Briefing. Over lunch, generously provided by the ASCE Montgomery Branch, participants engaged in insightful discussions about key bills affecting civil engineering in Alabama. Senator Clyde Chambliss, P.E., and Senate President Pro Tempore Garlan Gudger gave us legislative updates, outlining legislative challenges and support opportunities crucial to our community.
Following the briefing, attendees proceeded to the Alabama State House, where they had the invaluable opportunity to connect directly with legislators. This direct engagement allowed our members to advocate effectively for policies that promote infrastructure development, sustainability, and the advancement of civil engineering practices statewide.
The event marked a pivotal moment for our community, emphasizing the importance of advocacy and collaboration in shaping legislative outcomes that benefit civil engineers and the public alike. We extend our sincere gratitude to all who attended, contributed, and supported this event, making it a resounding success.
Stay tuned for more updates and opportunities to engage with ASCE as we continue our commitment to advancing civil engineering in the great state of Alabama.
