• Identifies regional priorities and potential projects to meet those needs
• Helps inform the Statewide Transportation Improvement Program (STIP) and the Aviation Improvement Program (AIP)
• Covers the Southeast Alaska planning area, which is characterized by unique geography and a reliance on diverse transportation modes

Planning Area

The planning area, shown in the figure below, is located in Southeast Alaska and reflects the region’s unique geographic features and reliance on ferries, aviation, and surface transportation.
