The purpose of the report is to assess the impacts of a range of oil and gas development activities from Outer Continental Shelf Lease Sale No. 55 in the Northern Gulf of Alaska on statewide, regional, and local transportation systems. The analysis focuses on the communities of Seward, Cordova, and Yakutat and on the Anchorage metropolitan region. Additional communities in the eastern Gulf of Alaska, which have important transportation facilities, specifically Valdez and Whittier, have been included. The introductory chapter describes the scope of the study, explains how it relates to other studies in the Socioeconomic Studies Program, and summarizes the methodology. Chapter 2 describes the existing conditions for transportation facilities and services by region. Chapter 3 presents the transportation demand forecasts and impact assessments for a range of conditions without Lease Sale No. 55. Chapter 4 presents an analysis of five cases having a range of economic discoveries of oil and gas in the Yakutat, Middleton, and Yakataga Shelves. Most of the discoveries are assumed to be in the Yakutat Shelf. Requirements for direct OCS facilities, such as berths for supply boats, are established and demands are established for movements of OCS tonnage and movements of OCS employees.
