Ferry System
Brings $98,862
In Three Months
JUNEAU W — The state ferry
system carried 8,760 passengers
and 1,014 vehicles during the three
month period ending April 30,
Public Works Commissioner Rich
ard Downing said today.
The traffic averages out to 365
passengers and 42.2 vehicles for
each of the 22 round trips com
pleted by the Malaspina during
that time and the two round trips
completed by the Taku.
Total passenger and vehicle
revenue during the period through
April 30, Downing said, was
$98,862.
A1 Ritchie, traffic manager for
the Marine Highway System, said
traffic between Panhandle com
munities, by residents of the area,
has run far higher than expected.
“It has been tremendous,” he
said. “People are just riding the
ferries to be riding them.
“All along the system, people
are talking about catching the
ferry for a weekend trip or for a
visit to the next town.”
Ritchie said inter - community
travel had exhausted what the
Marine Transportation Division
had planned on being a full year’s
supply of tickets for Skagway,
Wrangell and Petersburg.
Downing said that with the tour
ist season picking up and the
Haines Cutoff open to travel, there
has been an increase in through
northbound traffic from Prince
Rupert to Haines and Skagway.
Ritchie attributed much of the
inter-community travel on the fer
ries during their first three months
of operation to four events.
These were the Southeast Al
aska High School Basketball Tour
nament at Ketchikan and the Gold
Medal Basketball Tournament
State Women’s Bowling Tourna
ment and Southeast Alaska Music
Festival at Juneau.
