More funding protects highway bond payments
For fiscal 2026, highway and bridge bond funding rises from $133.755861 million to $193.564457 million, a $59.808596 million increase. Payments cover only the principal and interest needed when covered bonds mature, now including Alabama Highway Authority bonds. When funds fall short, debt payments must be paid in full before other appropriations. The law also allows an annual contribution of up to $25 million to the Alabama Transportation Infrastructure Bank for debt payments. Debt-payment funds for federal matching purposes remain available after the fiscal year ends. With the Governor's and Finance Director's consent, the Transportation Director can move money among specified budget categories to maximize federal matches. Federal transportation funds must be used only for their designated purposes.
More money for Alabama roads
Alabama provides $587.5 million to its Department of Transportation for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2026. This includes $387.5 million from the Public Road and Bridge Fund and $200 million from the Rebuild Alabama Fund. The money supports roads, bridges, and the state transportation system.

State offices keep eligible unspent funding
Beginning October 1, 2026, the law funds the same state offices again with eligible unspent amounts from this act. Eligible money must remain unspent and return to the state on September 30, 2026.
