FFY26-27 annual work program

The Alaska Department of Transportation & Public Facilities received $100,793.30 in federal funding under the Highway Planning and Construction program (CFDA 20.205) administered by the Federal Highway Administration. Awarded on September 19, 2025, this formula grant supports the development and implementation of the FFY26-27 Annual Work Program, which outlines comprehensive transportation planning activities conducted across the department's headquarters and regional offices throughout Alaska.

The grant funds planning activities that fulfill federal requirements for a continuing, cooperative, and comprehensive transportation planning process. Key deliverables include the development and updates to Alaska's long-range statewide transportation plan, the Statewide Transportation Improvement Program (STIP), transportation data collection and analysis, and the planning and implementation of performance measures. These planning functions form the foundation for Alaska's multimodal transportation infrastructure investments and support the state's coordination with the Federal Highway Administration on highway projects, Alaska Marine Highway System improvements, and airport facility enhancements across the state's diverse geographic regions. The award period extends through September 30, 2028.
