Alaska’s ferry system has been working on this extensive plan for the last two years.

“Our vision is for the 2045 long-range plan to chart a path forward to a thriving system,” said Craig Tornga, director of the Alaska Marine Highway System or AMHS. “It really defines our vision, sets our goals and develops our strategies for the future, and it also provides the framework for decision making and our resource allocation and then ensures that the future actions we take align with our vision.
“Reliability, Reliability, Reliability is what the communities and residents most impacted by the marine highway system want,” said Berry. “I want to be really clear that a plan like this is not something that you publish, and next year, Craig can snap his fingers and say, ‘Great, here’s your increase in service for all of these communities,’” Berry said. “It really will take this dedicated work in each of these focus areas to move on a 20-year path.”
