Change this mission statement! “To increase system capacity and improve efficiency, shift from a surface network that is based on long-distance ferry runs to a surface network that relies on land highways to connect communities and other destinations. Land highways will dramatically expand activity and mobility by increasing traveler flexibility, choice, and speed while reducing or eliminating toll costs.” – Current mission statement of the SATP.

What You Can Do

Let the Palin administration know that Gov. Murkowski’s plan didn’t work for Southeast five years ago, and it doesn’t work for us today.   Urge the state to focus on providing community-to-community ferry service and infrastructure for air service as its top transportation goals in Southeast Alaska.

Comments due Friday, October 31st.  You can view the SATP plan and provide comments electronically at: http://www.dot.state.ak.us/stwdplng/projectinfo/ser/newwave/SATP_FINAL/index.shtml.
