Alaska has over 12,200 miles of public roads. Of these land miles, over 5,500 are under state jurisdiction, over 4,200 miles are under local government jurisdiction, with the remainder under the jurisdiction of various federal agencies.
Approximately one-half of the public roads are paved.
While Alaska is over twice as large as the next largest state (Texas), Alaska's population and land road mileage compare more closely with those of Vermont.
