Guiding Transportation Development for Alaska’s Future

It is required by federal regulation (23CFR450.214) and draws its authority from Alaska Statute 44.42.050. The current Statewide Long-Range Transportation Policy Plan is Let's Get Moving 2030, updated in 2008.

Area/Regional Transportation Plans - These are regional, multi-modal transportation plans developed for specific areas of the state, designed to address movement between communities in the region, and from the region to points beyond. Each of these plans incorporates economic modeling to evaluate potential projects and prioritize them to best meet state and regional goals.

Metropolitan Transportation Plans - These are fiscally-constrained plans unique to the state's metroplitan planning areas and required by federal regulation 23CFR450.322. They include both long and short range strategies and actions that lead to an integrated multimodal transportation system to facilitate the safe and efficient movement of people and goods in addressing current and future transportation demand.

Modal/System Transportation Plans - These are statewide plans that address system needs and structure of a mode or subset of the overall transportation system. System plans help identify system-wide issues, goals, objectives, standards, and processes. Examples include the Alaska Aviation System Plan, Alaska State Rail Plan, Alaska Bicycle and Pedestrian Plan, and the Alaska Strategic Highway Safety Plan.
