The Winter Trail Program is a federally funded, Alaska Department of Transportation & Public Facilities (DOT&PF)-administered program that provides funding and support to rural communities to mark public winter trails. The goal of the program is to facilitate connections between rural communities, public roads or highways, and public use areas through installation of high visibility trail markers. DOT&PF will maintain a public online inventory of rural winter trails that will be updated in collaboration with the communities participating in this program.
