The report evaluates future effects on regional air, marine, highway, rail, and pipeline transportation systems from outer continental shelf (OCS) petroleum development in offshore location known as the (Barrow Arch) Chukchi Sea Planning area. Future conditions without the OCS development mostly represent an extrapolation of current trends and conditions, while future conditions with the development are driven by an industrial development scenario prepared by MMS. The analysis looked at transportation services to the nearby North Slope Eskimo coastal villages of Point Lay, Point Hope, Wainwright, and Barrow; the more southerly coastal communities of Kivilina and Kotzebue, and the petroleum industry enclave at Prudhoe Bay/Deadhorse.
