Community Engagement Updates
DOT&PF is engaging the public to gather input in order to inform future service schedules and limit service gaps. We are working with stakeholders to ensure that we are listening to community needs and responding to the best of our ability.
Hoonah Regional Volleyball Tournament
Recent community stakeholder engagement resulted in adjustments to LeConte's schedule to accommodate travel to and from the Regional Volleyball Tournament in Hoonah (November 17 and 19). Please refer to your service area playbook to view other events being requested in your community.
Prince William Sound Supplemental Service
To better accommodate the residents of Prince William Sound during reduced service this November and December, we have contracted supplemental service between Cordova, Whittier, and Valdez. Please refer to the Prince William Sound playbook and Phillips Cruises and Tours website for more information. Supplemental sailings for Prince William Sound are listed under the vessel name Bravest BRV on the OARS calendar. Reservations may be booked at https://dot.alaska.gov/amhs/ or by calling 800-642-0066.

Service Area Playbooks
Service Area Playbooks are a tool for DOT&PF to plan with communities and make decisions about how best to deploy additional resources (crew and vessels) to improve the overall health of the system. Playbooks are updated regularly as DOT&PF evaluates resources and system metrics to determine if service levels need to be altered given available resources.

Please note that ports such as Juneau and Ketchikan service multiple areas and are therefore present in multiple playbooks - if you have any trouble finding your community's playbook, feel free to reach out to us for assistance!
