Birmingham Jefferson County Transit Authority

As the transportation leader in Central Alabama, BJCTA strives for excellence at all times. MAX, which stands for Metro Area Express, is the bus system operated by the Birmingham Jefferson County Transit Authority (BJCTA). They average approximately 3 million riders each year. Currently, BJCTA does not receive dedicated funding from the Alabama Department of Transportation. Aside from federal funds, they are able to operate using local funding, beer tax, ad valorem taxes, and municipalities. From new technology on their buses to a state-of-the-art Intermodal facility, they are changing the dynamics within their industry. Their goal each day is to Improve, Impact, and Ignite public transportation and the service they provide their riders. Just as their mission statement suggest, they want to develop and maintain an effective, efficient, and safe system that is responsive to the mobility needs of the community. MAX transit encourages the use of public transportation which will in return contribute to the economic vitality of the community, the conservation of natural resources, and the protection of the environment.
