Rep. Zack Fields (D-Anchorage): Dept. of Transportation (DOT) cuts millions from Anchorage road safety projects

 Gov. Mike Dunleavy’s administration in December 2025 revealed a Highway Safety Improvement Program (HSIP) that omitted nearly $19 million that Anchorage officials expected to use for projects that would make our city's most dangerous roads safer.

The Alaska Department of Transportation (DOT) allocated just $9 million for Anchorage projects out of the $77 million total for the state's program. On the show to comment is Alaska State House Representative Zack Fields whose district includes downtown Anchorage.
