The Socioeconomic Studies Program, of which this report is a part, is a multi-disciplinary effort designed to assess the range of local, regional, and statewide impacts that might occur if oil and gas activities took place in the outer continental shelf (OCS). The purpose of this report is to assess the cumulative and incremental transportation impacts resulting from activities related to Lease Sale No. 60, which includes areas in Lower Cook Inlet and Shelikof Strait. Anchorage and Southcentral Alaska are the focus of the regional analysis for transportation systems. The community analysis focuses on Kenai and Homer. The report has four chapters. The introductory chapter provides an overview of the report and discusses the nature of transportation impacts. Chapter 2 contains a description of existing facilities and services for the water, air, and land modes. This information provides baseline conditions that are used to forecast transportation demands and impacts during the study period (1982-2001). Chapter 3 presents transportation demands and resulting impacts for the base case, which includes the moderate scenario of Lease Sale No. CI in the Lower Cook Inlet and of other previous lease sales. Chapter 4 presents the demands and impacts of the three OCS cases. These cases are based on the low, moderate, and high petroleum development scenarios for the lease sale. Emphasis is placed on analysis of the moderate case, since it is the most likely to occur.
