Alaska Ferry System has important lessons for B.C.

The Vice-chair of the Strathcona Regional District says a new report on the Alaska Ferry System has important lessons for B-C.

The study looks at the economic impact of the ferry system.

Jim Abram says it has important information on the benefits of the marine highway on the entire state..

Abram says the study proves that it makes more economic sense to run the ferry system as part of the highway system, rather than as a separate corporation.

He says he hopes the B-C government takes note and makes changes to how the B-C system is run.
