FFY26-27 annual work program

The Alaska Department of Transportation & Public Facilities received a formula grant award of $19.2 million from the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) under the Highway Planning and Construction program (CFDA 20.205), obligated on September 19, 2025, with a completion deadline of September 30, 2028. This Annual Work Program (FFY26-27) funds comprehensive transportation planning activities conducted across the Alaska DOT&PF headquarters and regional offices that support the development and maintenance of critical state transportation infrastructure plans and programs.

The award supports the delivery of planning services essential to Alaska's multimodal transportation network, including the development and updates of the Long-Range Statewide Transportation Plan, the Statewide Transportation Improvement Program (STIP), transportation data collection and analysis, and implementation of performance measures. These planning functions ensure Alaska's transportation system operates as a continuing, cooperative, and comprehensive planning process that meets federal requirements and facilitates informed decision-making for highway, airport, ferry, and related transportation infrastructure investments across the state's geographically challenging landscape.
