The resolution proposes to honor Larry Ryland by naming a section of United States Highway 84, specifically from Interstate 65 to mile marker 94.958 in Conecuh County, Alabama, as the "Larry Ryland Highway." This recognition is in appreciation of Ryland's significant contributions to the community, particularly in the field of emergency medical services and education. He was instrumental in establishing and expanding the EMT training program at Lurleen B. Wallace Community College, which achieved a 100 percent pass rate for its graduates. Additionally, Ryland played a key role in implementing the E-911 programs in Covington and Conecuh Counties and served as a vital figure in various projects that enhanced the safety and well-being of local residents.

The resolution highlights Ryland's extensive service, including his tenure as assistant to the Mayor of Evergreen, where he successfully generated substantial revenue for the city through utility line surcharges. His efforts on the Regional Transportation Board also led to a significant expansion of United States Highway 84, improving safety for travelers. The resolution calls for the Alabama Department of Transportation to collaborate with local officials to officially designate the highway in Ryland's honor and to install appropriate signage to commemorate this recognition.
