Senator At Large Angel Bolques Jr. is asking St. John residents to fill out a quick online survey to share how a proposed increase in marine fees and the potential institution of new fees could affect them.
The Virgin Islands Port Authority is considering raising marine tariffs—fees that could impact ferry rides, barge transport, water taxis, and other marine services that St. Johnians rely on every day.
“I need your help,” said Senator Bolques. “Your answers will help me show the VIPA Board how this proposal would affect the daily lives of the residents in St. John. Before they make a final decision, they need to hear from us. Your input is the data that will speak for St. John.”
The survey takes just a few minutes. My goal is to ensure that the VIPA Board has real, tangible, community-based information before making such a significant decision that could have drastic consequences. Senator Bolques will use the results to present a clear and realistic picture of how the changes may impact St. John.
