==Infrastructure== ===Airport=== [[Dothan Regional Airport]] is served by [[Delta Air Lines]] and Aero-One Aviation as of September 2017. The airport was established at the former Army airbase at [[Napier Field, Alabama|Napier Field]] in 1965, after then-Mayor Richmond McClintock started a push to move the airport in the early 1950s. Jet services began in 1968 with [[Southern Airways]]' acquisition of [[DC-9]] aircraft, and continue today using the [[CRJ-200]] regional passenger jet.<ref>{{cite web |title=Welcome |publisher=Dothan Regional Airport |url=http://www.flydothan.com/ |access-date=August 10, 2009 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20060923075121/http://creports.capnhq.gov/airfield/ViewAirport.asp?view=Thumb&state=AL&code=DHN&filetype=_ |archive-date=September 23, 2006 }}</ref> Unlike many municipal airports in the U.S., the Dothan airport is entirely self-supporting, operating without tax-generated funding. All airport revenue is generated by rental and other user fees charged to patrons and tenants of the facility.<ref>{{cite web |title = About DHN |publisher = Dothan Regional Airport |url = http://www.flydothan.com/about_dhn.html |access-date = August 10, 2009 |url-status = dead |archive-url = https://archive.today/20130123093550/http://www.flydothan.com/about_dhn.html |archive-date = January 23, 2013 |df = mdy-all }}</ref> The airport serves as the local National Weather Service's weather observation station.<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://weather.noaa.gov/weather/AL_cc_us.html |title=Alabama Weather |access-date=September 25, 2015 |archive-date=November 7, 2015 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20151107065944/http://weather.noaa.gov/weather/AL_cc_us.html |url-status=dead }}</ref> ===Roadways=== U.S. Routes [[U.S. Route 84 in Alabama|84]], [[U.S. Route 231 in Alabama|231]], and [[U.S. Route 431 in Alabama|431]] run through Dothan along various parts of [[Ross Clark Circle]] (AL-210), the bypass encircling the city. U.S. 84 runs along the northern part of the bypass from west to east, leading east {{convert|55|mi|km|abbr=on}} to [[Bainbridge, Georgia|Bainbridge]], [[Georgia (U.S. state)|Georgia]] and west {{convert|30|mi|km|abbr=on}} to [[Enterprise, Alabama|Enterprise]]. U.S. 231 runs along the western part of the bypass from south to north, leading northwest {{convert|56|mi|km|abbr=on}} to [[Troy, Alabama|Troy]] and south {{convert|83|mi|km|abbr=on}} to [[Panama City, Florida|Panama City]], [[Florida]]. U.S. 431 begins its path northward at the southern end of Ross Clark Circle, and runs along the eastern part of the bypass, leading north {{convert|51|mi|km|abbr=on}} to [[Eufaula, Alabama|Eufaula]]. Other highways that run through Dothan include Alabama State Routes [[Alabama State Route 52|52]] and [[Alabama State Route 53|53]]. Dothan is currently the only city in Alabama's top ten largest that does not have Interstate access, with the closest Interstate being [[Interstate 10]] that runs 32 miles to the south. ===Transit=== Although passenger trains no longer operate through Dothan, the 1907 [[Dothan station]] still stands. [[Greyhound Bus Lines]] maintains a station in town.<ref>[http://locations.greyhound.com/bus-stations/us/alabama/dothan/bus-station-420354 Dothan, AL Greyhound Station] Intercity Bus Service</ref> Dothan does not have regularly scheduled public transportation, but offers [[Paratransit|dial-a-ride]] service through its nonprofit Wiregrass Transit Authority.<ref>{{cite web|title=Wiregrass Transit Authority |url=http://www.sanman.net/searpdc/transit/transit.htm |access-date=August 10, 2009 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090826182700/http://www.sanman.net/searpdc/transit/transit.htm |archive-date=August 26, 2009}}</ref>
