Amhs FFY24-25 fleet condition survey

The Alaska Department of Transportation & Public Facilities (DOT&PF) has been awarded a $400,000 Project Grant from the Federal Highway Administration (CFDA 20.205 Highway Planning and Construction) to update the Alaska Marine Highway System (AMHS) fleet condition survey reports. The grant will be used to incorporate new condition assessments, identify capital improvements required to maintain vessel class and regulatory compliance, and assist with overall project planning for the AMHS vessel assets. The grant aims to ensure the operational status of the AMHS fleet by updating the condition reports, identifying required work, and estimating associated costs. This federal grant award will support DOT&PF's efforts to maintain and enhance Alaska's critical transportation infrastructure and marine transportation services.
