Overview

Because public transit and interstate highways are limited, Alaskans register vehicles, boats, and small aircraft at high per-capita rates, with trucks and SUVs favored for rugged terrain and severe winter conditions.

  • Alaska has the highest number of registered aircraft per capita of any US state, largely small private planes used for daily transportation.
