• Abstract:
  This study investigates the historical example of the construction of the Dalton Highway—the most significant new road built in Alaska since 1971—to analyze how historical changes in access (both new infrastructures and access policies) and equity (who decides, who benefits, who is seen as a stakeholder) have impacted safety, broadly defined, in rural, isolated, tribal, and indigenous (RITI) communities throughout Northern Alaska.
