Ferries Conference

Since 2003 we have been helping transit agencies, municipal administrators, elected officials, and civic leaders determine whether marine transit is feasible and appropriate for your communities.

Our programs examine community engagement and demand modeling, operational foundations, funding sources, and administrative systems that you can implement to build or expand a water taxi or ferry route—and successfully finance its ongoing operation.

Attendees will hear from public funding sources, public and private operators and consultants …all aimed at helping introduce, fund and operate ferry systems around the country.
