Resolve, Directing The Department Of Transportation To Study The Feasibility Of Ferry Service To Monhegan Island

This resolution directs Maine's Department of Transportation to study the feasibility of adding ferry service to Monhegan Island. The study must assess economic and social benefits, infrastructure needs on both the island and mainland, and implementation challenges, working with stakeholders like island representatives and ferry service experts. The Department must submit a report by December 3, 2025, to the Joint Standing Committee on Transportation. This study itself does not fund or establish ferry service but could lead to future legislation if deemed feasible. Monhegan Island residents and visitors would be directly affected if service is implemented.
