About the MTP
The MTP is the Valley’s first federally required long-range transportation plan. It guides investments across roads, transit, freight, walking, and biking, while supporting economic development, sustainability, and quality of life. Developed by MVP with local, Tribal, state, federal, and public partners.

Why it Matters
The Mat-Su is Alaska’s fastest-growing region, with population up more than 20% since 2010. This growth creates opportunities and challenges. The MTP ensures transportation investments reflect community priorities, improve safety and mobility, and meet federal funding requirements for continued support.
MVP MTP Public Meeting Recap
We’re developing the long-term MTP, and your input matters! This plan will guide investments and priorities for the next 20+ years, and we want to make sure it reflects the needs of our communities.
On December 3, 2025, MVP hosted the first public meeting for the MTP, which will lay out plans to address long-range transportation goals within the MVP boundaries:
-
Land Use and Connectivity: ensure transportation improvements align with local land use patterns and connect housing to employment
-
Safety: improve transportation safety for all modes (driving, walking, biking, etc.)
-
Leverage funding: leverage all available funding resources (local, state, federal, Tribal)
-
Maintenance: maintain the system in a state of good repair
-
Provide transportation options: Create opportunities for more diverse transportation options (such as transit or multi-modal transportation options)
-
Improve mobility: shorten commute times and improve mobility
-
Transportation resiliency: build a resilient transportation network.
