Unalaska, AK – The Marine Transportation Advisory Board plans on discussing ferry service to southwest Alaska and the Aleutian Islands during their meeting in Anchorage on Monday. The board will hear from the Southwest Alaska Municipal Conference, which wants more services in the region. Ferry system chief Jim Beedle said that would require cuts in other services, especially because the ferry system's budget is likely to remain the same in the coming year.

If you would like to give input on potential changes, you can participate in the 9 a.m. meeting via teleconference. The number is 1-800-315-6338, and the access code is 3902#. For more information, contact the ferry service at 465-3900.
