The plan was last updated in 1992, and since that time, a number of improvements have been made to transportation facilities and services in the Borough. Similarly, many aspects of the Federal, State, and Borough institutional framework that govern the planning, construction, and maintenance of transportation facilities have changed. This plan provides goals for transportation development and management in the Kenai Peninsula Borough, an overview of existing transportation facilities, and a summary of programs that fund construction and maintenance of transportation facilities. There are also action items that provide an advisory guide of different methods for obtaining the goals and objectives. The action items are neither exclusive to other approaches to meeting the goals and objectives, nor are they mandatory. In addition, this plan includes development of a traffic analysis model for the Borough, as well as an assessment of freight traffic flows on Kenai Peninsula highways. The Kenai Peninsula is accessible by air, land, and water. The Seward, Sterling, and Kenai Spur Highways, and connecting State and local roads, provide highway access to Resurrection Bay, the western coast of the Kenai Peninsula, and a corridor through the central peninsula. Access to the west side of Cook Inlet and southern tip of the Kenai Peninsula is limited to air and water. Three public ports, four small boat harbors, fourteen public airports, and numerous private facilities provide air and water access to communities and development areas within the Borough. The Alaska Railroad provides rail service from Anchorage to Seward. The Alaska Marine Highway System operates ferries between Seward, Horner, Seldovia, Kodiak Island, Prince William Sound, the Alaska Peninsula, and Aleutian communities. Responsibility for construction and maintenance of transportation facilities is divided between the Alaska Department of Transportation and Public Facilities (DOT&PF), the Kenai Peninsula Borough, the Cities of Kenai, Soldotna, Seward, Horner, Seldovia, Native Village corporations, and the private sector. The U.S. Department of Transportation (USDOT) provides most of the funding for transportation construction projects, selected and administered by DOT&PF. The railroad is owned by the State of Alaska and operated by the Alaska Railroad Corporation. Page 1 Kenai Peninsula Borough Transportation Plan Final Plan For additional information on current transportation plans and priorities, readers are directed to DOT&PF (www.dot.state.ak.us). the Borough Public Works Department and Road Maintenance Service Areas (www.borough.kenai.ak.us/Roads/). the Cities of Kenai (www.cLkenaLak.us/), Soldotna (www.ci.soldotna.ak.us), Seward (www.cityofseward.net/), Homer (www.ci.homer.ak.us/), Seldovia (www.xyz.net/-seldovia) and the Alaska Railroad (www.alaskarailroad.com). 2.0 ROADS The following subsections describe State, Borough, City, and village roads and related issues. 2.1 State Roads There are a:::>proximately 650 miles of State maintained roads in the Kenai Peninsula Borough. State roads are constructed and maintained by the DOT&PF. Within the Borough, there are three State highways: the Seward Highway, the Sterling Highway, and the Kenai Spur Highway. A number of secondary State and local roads provide local access along the highway corridor. Construction and maintenance of State roads are funded by the USDOT, Federal Highway Administration through the DOT&PF, Central Region. Capital project funding for transportat.on projects is allocated through a six-year Statewide Transportation Improvement Program (STIP) process and through project-specific legislative appropriations. In recent years, the State has obtained approximately 90 percent of its transportat.on capital budget from Federal highway and airport trust funds. During the 2002 legislative session, in addition to the normal 90 percent Federal Highway/ 10 percent State match funding, two new funding sources were tapped. First, the sale of $120 million in State general obligation transportation bonds was approved. These State funds constituted the first large-scale, State-funded road projects in nearly two decades. In addition, for the first time, the State chose to issue GARVEE bonds, which use future Federal transportation funding to payoff the bonds. Approximately $100 million of these bonds werE sold. Historically, the State also granted some funding directly to the Borough for upgrade of State secondary roads. Under the Local Service Roads and Trails program authorized by AS 19.30.111-251 and KPB 14.04, the State funded improvement of these roads within the Borough. :Road projects were limited to those meeting the criteria set forth in the statutes. The construction was completed by private companies under contracts administered by Page 2 Kenai Peninsula Borough Transportation Plan Final Plan the Kenai Peninsula Borough. This program and the road construction powers authorized by this program have not been funded for over a decade.
