This report evaluates potential air and marine transportation systems impacts in Unalaska, Cold Bay, St. Paul and St. Matthew Island, and parts of the Alaska Peninsula following the proposed Navarin Basin OCS lease sale (83), scheduled for March 1984. A detailed description of existing and anticipated transportation facilities and services is included for Unalaska/Dutch Harbor, Cold Bay and St. Paul. There is currently no transportation infrastructure on St. Matthew Island. Forecasts of air and marine transportation demands without the economic influence of the lease sale are developed as a base case for comparative analysis. A mean petroleum development scenario prepared by MMS serves as forces of structural change following the lease sale. Forecasts of additional air and marine transportation demands generated by OCS development activities were prepared. Impacts were determined by comparing transportation demands with and without OCS development against existing and anticipated transportation facilities and services.
