The Heart of Alabama Rural Planning Organization (HARPO) is responsible for transportation consultation in Blount, Chilton, St. Clair, and Walker counties. Members of HARPO include local and state government officials as well as representatives from the Alabama Department of Transportation (ALDOT).

HARPO provides a venue for public officials to confer with ALDOT representatives about transportation issues, especially those regarding the State Transportation Improvement Plan (STIP) and 5-Year Plan, by providing comprehensive information about transportation projects and processes. In addition, HARPO provides an avenue for the public in rural areas to become involved in the transportation planning process. HARPO assists rural communities in developing a long-range vision for transportation through the identification of issues and needs.
