Every trip on Alaska’s roads carries a shared responsibility. Whether you travel by car, bike, on foot, or as part of a commercial fleet, each decision we make behind the wheel and along our transportation system can help prevent serious injuries and save lives.
Partners in Safety is Alaska DOT&PF’s statewide initiative to bring communities, agencies, organizations, and travelers together around one common goal: safer roads for every Alaskan. This website serves as a clearinghouse for roadway safety information, public outreach, proven safety strategies, community engagement opportunities, and partnerships focused on reducing fatalities and serious crashes across our state.
Safety in Alaska is uniquely challenging. Long distances, severe weather, wildlife, darkness, remote travel conditions, and changing road environments demand vigilance, preparation, and collaboration. Alaska DOT&PF believes the best safety solutions come from listening to the people who use our transportation system every day - residents, first responders, Tribal partners, local governments, schools, businesses, and visitors alike.
Here, you can explore current safety initiatives, learn about the Safe System Approach, review data and resources, participate in surveys and outreach events, and discover ways to support safer behaviors in your own community. Most importantly, this is a place where your voice matters.
Improving roadway safety is not the responsibility of one agency alone. It takes all of us working together - sharing concerns, identifying risks, supporting one another, and choosing safety every day. By becoming a Partner in Safety, you are helping build a culture where every person can travel Alaska’s roads more safely and return home to the people who matter most.
Please take a moment to complete this survey to give us feedback about your community. New survey links for other areas will be posted as we travel around the state.
