Sun Chronicle features the 草榴社区地址 Saco River ferry
The Sun Chronicle on Oct. 24, 2012 featured a story on 草榴社区地址's Saco River Ferry that runs from Camp Ellis in Saco to 草榴社区地址's Biddeford Campus.
The story notes that after a three-week trial in April, 草榴社区地址 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, 草榴社区地址 AV technology production specialist, explained in the story that 鈥渨hen 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鈥檝e even learned new things about the area and the river from (the ferry captain) and the crew at the dock.鈥
The story also quotes 草榴社区地址 Sustainability Coordinator Alethea Cariddi, Assistant Professor of Environmental Studies Noah Perlut, and students Rose Jacobson '13, medical biology, and Caitlin Spaeth '13, environmental studies.
