91AV

The Sun Chronicle on Oct. 24, 2012 featured a story on 91AV's Saco River Ferry that runs from Camp Ellis in Saco to 91AV's Biddeford Campus.

The story notes that after a three-week trial in April, 91AV officially launched its ferry service in mid-September. Since then, the ferry has averaged 73, one-way riders per week and eliminated a total of 300 vehicle trips from local roadways and 2,920 miles worth of carbon emissions.

Karl Carrigan, 91AV AV technology production specialist, explained in the story that “when I travel across the river, I see herons, sea birds and other wildlife. The views are awesome and varied. I have texted many photos of my morning commute to my less-fortunate, landlocked peers in other parts of the country ... I’ve even learned new things about the area and the river from (the ferry captain) and the crew at the dock.”

The story also quotes 91AV Sustainability Coordinator Alethea Cariddi, Assistant Professor of Environmental Studies Noah Perlut, and students Rose Jacobson '13, medical biology, and Caitlin Spaeth '13, environmental studies.
