Special Mobile County Election
The 2024 Pay-As-You-Go Transportation Improvement Program (PAYG) is the last item on the Mobile County ballot entitled “Special County Election.” It proposes committing $82 million to Mobile County roads and bridges. The 2024 PAYG also incorporates federal and state funding matches of $22 million.
Mobile County voters have approved PAYG each of the 20 times it has appeared on a ballot. Voter support is needed once again to continue this key infrastructure program. The proposed road and bridge improvements will enable Mobile County to keep pace with population shifts and increased traffic.
