The Department of Transportation and Public Facilities says comments on the draft plan can be made online at www.dot.alaska.gov/stip, via text message at 855-925-2801, or voice mail at 855-925-2801, enter Pin 2191, and leave a message.
At the moment, comments are due Sept. 3.
Key flaws in the plan have been identified by the local transportation organizations in Fairbanks and Anchorage about the lack of local involvement and the insertion of projects into the plan that had not been reviewed.
