2045 AMHS Long-Range Plan

About the plan

AMHS is a lifeline service, an essential part of life for people and communities across Alaska, Canada, and the 'Lower 48'. We are working toward a more efficient, resilient, and connective service that can better serve the state's residents and visitors. As we envision the future of AMHS in 20 years, we are thinking about the sustained and growing needs of our users, as well as future infrastructural opportunities and challenges.

The AMHS Long-Range Plan sets out to guide the operation and management of AMHS fleet and terminal infrastructure for the next 20 years. The Plan does the following:

    • Review existing planning initiatives and inputs.
    • Highlight existing and future opportunities for engagement.
    • Identify future service scenarios for AMHS served communities.
    • Identify the supporting workforce and infrastructure needs to implement scenarios.
    • Outline a capital replacement plan for our fleet and shoreside facilities.
    • Offer recommendations for future resiliency and sustainability efforts.

Some ways to get involved:

There are plenty of opportunities for public involvement through each phase of this process - in fact we couldn't do it without you! Whether you're interested in attending public meetings, sharing your input online, or just want to stay up do date on our website, your participation and interest is greatly valued.
