What is a Service Area Playbook?
In an effort to provide current and relevant information specific to each of the communities served, this "playbook" will be a go-to site for communities to view current service levels, vessel availability for the route (a factor of terminal compatability and vessel characteristics), mitigation measures in place and as a way for DOT&PF to engage with communities on opportunities for service.
Please visit the main Reimagining AMHS page for more information on how the system is charting the course to reliable service through incremental phases of system improvement--starting with system stabilization and moving into recovery and full steam ahead to reliable service. The program page will also provide up-to-date reporting on metrics related to the core AMHS system health elements of crew, vessels and budget.
What is current service to my community?Status Alerts: Users can subscribe for AMHS text updates for service level changes beyond those published in the schedule. For other updates and general information, visit our website.Current Service Schedule: As service schedules are updated, they will be available to view here. Please also refer to the Level of Service and Fleet Availability chart below. Fleet Compatability: Of the 9 vessels in the AMHS fleet, 4 (LeConte, Matanuska, Tazlina, and Hubbard) are compatible with the terminals and service needs of the Northern Inside Passage service area. Refer to the Level of Service and Fleet Availability charts below to see which vessels are currently serving your route.

This is informed by public comments received to date and future engagement.Communications: Real-time text message updates will be developed to communicate where vessels are, and ship Wi-Fi will be installed for the crew first, then expanded to passengers.What is next?
Recovering reliability will take time. As the course to this recovery is underway, engagement with the community will help strengthen future decision-making around allocating resources as they become available.
