The second outing of the annual Alabama Roadshow, hosted by the Joint Transportation Committee of the Alabama Legislature with assistance from ATI, the legislators traveled to Mobile Bay and the Dauphin Island Sea Lab.
During this trip, the legislators met at Blakeley State Park for a boat tour of the Mobile Bay that focused on the bridges and economic importance of the area. The knowledgeable captain provided insight into the Bay’s history, environment, and modern development. During the trip to the Dauphin Island Sea Lab, the legislatures enjoyed an engaging presentation about the history of the Sea Lab. This facility offers an unique educational opportunity for students of all ages in Alabama. The Roadshow concluded with a ferry ride from Dauphin Island to Fort Morgan. It was important that the group experienced this because it is one of the most utilized ferries along the Gulf Coast.
