Print article JUNEAU Gov. Mike Dunleavy and state legislative leaders have agreed on a plan to fund Alaska’s ferry system in advance, preventing abrupt changes to ferry schedules if the system’s budget is cut in the future. Under the plan, Alaska will use federal economic aid to fund the Alaska Marine Highway System for the next 18 months. After that period, the state’s ferries will use a January-through-December budget calendar. That means any cuts to the ferry system’s budget during the spring legislative session won’t take effect for six months or more, allowing riders to change their plans well in advance.

Alaska s students, teachers, and parents deserve certainty that our schools will have the resources they need, year in and year out, Republican House Speaker Louise Stutes said in a statement.

The governor and legislative leaders have agreed on a rough plan to use federal pandemic relief from Congress to help stabilize Alaska’s beleaguered ferry system.
Gov. Mike Dunleavy and lawmakers say a nearly $77 million windfall would allow the state to fund the Alaska Marine Highway System for the next year and a half. The governor visited Ketchikan on Thursday and discussed his proposal.
