“Commissioner Anderson built an admirable record of achievement and public service during his tenure at DOT,” Dunleavy said. “He is widely respected across northern Alaska for cultivating positive relationships with all impacted stakeholders while completing vital public transportation projects on time and within budget. I look forward to working with him, and fulfilling the department’s mission to Keep Alaska Moving through service and infrastructure.”
Anderson is a 20-year employee of the department. He most recently served as its Northern Region Director, overseeing design, construction, maintenance, and operations of a transportation system that serve communities in a geographically and culturally diverse region that extends from the Gulf of Alaska to the Arctic Ocean, and from the Bering Sea to the Canadian Border. He earned a Bachelor of Science in geological engineering from the University of Alaska Fairbanks in 1997.
The Alaska Department of Transportation and Public Facilities designs, constructs, operates, and maintains the state’s transportation infrastructure systems, buildings, and other facilities.
