PDC successfully led the update to the 2035 AMATS interim MTP. The Interim MTP maintained a set of goals and objectives that were founded on citizen involvement, designed to meet all transportation regulations, and provided a means for measuring the plan’s success as it is implemented. The project involved background research and analysis, public outreach, identification of issues, evaluation of growth scenarios, preparation of goals and objectives, and a recommended implementation plan. The Interim MTP was developed within the context of an ongoing, continuous public involvement process in the AMATS region, which included an expanded technical advisory committee. Even under an accelerated schedule dictated by federal funding requirements, the project was completed on time and under budget. The project team was awarded the 2015 Transportation Project of the Year by the Alaska Chapter of the American Planning Association.
