Funding Boost for Sustainable Ferry Services in Alaska, California, and Beyond
The Alaska Department of Transportation & Public Facilities is receiving funding to improve ferry services, including installing wireless connectivity on vessels and building a new ferry with a diesel-electric propulsion system. In California, funding will be used to purchase low-emission ferries, while in Delaware, a new diesel-hybrid ferry will improve daily transit services. Similar projects in other states aim to enhance service, promote sustainability, and reduce emissions.
