his year, celebrating the transportation industry in June seems particularly well-timed; despite a global pandemic, our transportation professionals have kept shelves stocked and people moving (whenever moving people couldn’t be avoided) while adhering to strict cleanliness and safety protocols. Through it all, Alaskans have been able to rely on an industry that takes its responsibilities to the communities it serves seriously.

It requires infrastructure, equipment, and expertise to “Keep Alaska Moving,” so for our June Alaska Trends we’re presenting a little more information about transportation in the Last Frontier. The facts presented here are sourced from Department Fast Facts: Prepared for Legislative Session 2020 by the Alaska Department of Transportation & Public Facilities.
