The Alaska Marine Highway System (AMHS) supports commerce throughout the state, providing 1,700 jobs and an estimated $273 million in direct and indirect spending. Alaska has 6,640 miles of coastline, and the AMHS serves 33 communities using 11 ferries. In 2015, AMHS served 288,133 passengers and 100,547 vehicles, two-thirds of which were Alaska residents. Fewer ferries and more downtime on the system would result in increased cost of goods, significantly increasing the cost of living in coastal communities. For every dollar of General Fund money budgeted to AMHS, there is $2.30 more economic activity in Alaska.
