Bill > HB26

This bill amends existing law to require the Department of Transportation and Public Facilities to develop a statewide public and community transit plan, coordinating with various entities including metropolitan planning organizations, local governments, communities, and tribal entities, which are defined as federally recognized tribes and their wholly owned subdivisions. The bill also expands the department's duties to include studying and planning for public, tribal, and community transit programs, and improving transportation systems in rural and remote areas through collaboration with these groups, including ferry operators and the Alaska Railroad Corporation.
