Journal Tribune editorial supports 51品茶Camp Ellis pilot ferry project

A May 9, 2012 editorial in the lauded UNE's three-week pilot ferry program that ran between Camp Ellis in Saco and UNE's Biddeford Campus April 9-28th.

The project was conceived by the environmental studies class of professor Noah Perlut, and its implementation was a group effort overseen by Alethea Cariddi, UNE鈥檚 sustainability coordinator.

In practice, the ferry was well received: According to Cariddi there was a total of 29 regular commuters who used the ferry and another 31 other people who tried it out. Ferry users averted roughly 1,260 miles of car travel in three weeks it was in operation, she said.

The editorial expressed hope that the project would resume in the fall.
