Amhs FFY25-26 shoreside facilities condition survey

The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) awarded $480,000 to the Alaska Department of Transportation & Public Facilities on July 31, 2025, under the Highway Planning and Construction program (CFDA 20.205) to conduct a comprehensive inspection and condition management survey of Alaska Marine Highway System (AMHS) ferry terminal facilities throughout the state. This project, designated AMHS FFY25-26 Shoreside Facilities Condition Survey, will deliver detailed assessments of the structural and operational condition of shoreside ferry infrastructure assets serving Alaska's coastal communities.

The deliverables from this project grant include a systematic evaluation of AMHS ferry terminal facilities across Alaska, which will inform maintenance planning, capital improvement prioritization, and infrastructure management decisions for the state's maritime transportation network. This condition survey aligns with the Highway Planning and Construction program's support for multimodal transportation infrastructure improvements and preservation activities, enabling the state to develop data-driven strategies for managing its ferry terminal assets and supporting the ongoing operations of the Alaska Marine Highway System serving over 30 coastal communities.
