Partners in Safety Alaska DOT&PF
Thank you for being a Partner in Safety! Partners in Safety is DOT&PF's new outreach program to create new opportunities for us to hear your concerns and ideas. As the Department implements the Safe Systems Approach, it is time to move beyond traditional data sources, which relied on crash reports, and hear from the real experts about where roadways feel safe (that's you!).
We have two programs dedicated to improving road safety: the Alaska Highway Safety Office (AHSO) and the Highway Safety Improvement Program (HSIP). AHSO focuses on driver behavior like correctly installing child car seats or buckling up, and HSIP funds engineering projects like installing guardrail or crosswalks.
Our first event was in Anchorage on September 18, 2024. We will be coming to communities like Bethel, Delta Junction, Sitka, and Utqiagvik between now and the end of 2025. Our goal is to visit every metropolitan area and as many regional hubs as possible. Look for a full list of locations we'll be visiting soon; we'll have a calendar posted on this page.
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.
