Alaska Marine October - April Costs
Given the diminished budget and Alaska ferry service cuts this summer, unsupported speculation is that historical winter programs like Drivers Travel Free - may be a thing of the past.
So far there has been no word as to whether Alaska Marine will increase fares or whether they will continue the "Driver Travels Free Oct Thru April" policy employed over the last few years.
