DIVERTED FREIGHT ROUTES

The BCA outlined the four feasible transportation route alternatives and detailed what percentage of freight would come from each distant city:

"Freight is trucked directly from Seattle to Haines (approximately 1,805 road miles)."

"Freight is shipped from Seattle to Anchorage (weekly service provided by AML) and then trucked from Anchorage to Haines (756 road miles)."

"Freight is shipped from Seattle to Valdez (weekly service provided by AML), and then trucked from Valdez to Haines (691 road miles)."

"Freight is shipped from Seattle to Skagway (weekly service provided by AML), and then trucked from Skagway to Haines (352 road miles)."

...when in fact, the dock face was already closed at the time the RAISE grant was submitted, and none of these scenarios have unfolded.
