    Alaska Community Connectivity Action Plan

      The Alaska Community Connectivity Action Plan (ACCAP) is an initiative by the Alaska DOT&PF, in partnership with the Alaska Municipal League (AML) aimed at addressing transportation barriers across Alaska with a focus on equity. This plan involves conducting a statewide assessment to identify and evaluate challenges and then creating a prioritized list of capital projects to remove these barriers. The goal is to reconnect communities through innovative and multimodal approaches.
