The Alaska Department of Transportation and Public Facilities (ADOT&PF) was awarded a $160,799 Project Grant from the U.S. Department of Transportation Federal Highway Administration on December 21, 2022. The funding will support improvements to pedestrian pathways and trailheads along the Iditarod National Historic Trail in Alaska under the Federal Lands Access Program.

The Federal Lands Access Program aims to enhance transportation facilities providing access to federal lands by supplementing state and local resources. The ADOT&PF grant funds will go toward constructing pedestrian infrastructure and trail access points that improve safety and mobility for visitors of the Iditarod National Historic Trail, a nationally significant historic route. As the parent organization of the awardee, the State of Alaska will oversee delivery of the funded pathway and trailhead improvements.
