Alaska DOT seeks public input on transportation policy plan

The Alaska Department of Transportation and Public Facilities (DOT&PF) is seeking public comment on its draft 2016 update to its long-range transportation policy plan known as Let’s Keep Moving 2036.

This plan, which provides updates over the 2008 plan, adds a performance-based approach to transportation planning, includes updated federal requirements and gives recommendations based on a reduced state budget.

“DOT&PF is seeking public comment on the draft, including recommendations on how the State of Alaska can meet anticipated transportation challenges and demands over the upcoming 20-year period,” the agency says.

An online open house has been created for the comment period, which ends Oct. 24. A plan summary and access to all of the Let’s Keep Moving 2036 documents are available here. The agency also says PDF files of the plan is available here.
