Abstract:

Michigan has the second-longest coastline after Alaska, with approximately 15,000 residents inhabiting the top 5 populous islands in Michigan water bodies. To provide mobility equity, the residents of these islands are expected to have equal access to work, healthcare, emergency services, and economic opportunities as the mainland residents. Four Michigan islands (Beaver, Sugar, Neebish, Drummond) were focal to the research, with certain scope of research being extended to an additional four islands (Manitou, Bois Blanc, Grand, Harsens). The importance of ferry services operation, planning and maintenance, and the lack of rigorous studies that focuses on “ideal transportation responsibility by state and federal authorities” in Michigan, suggest an urgent need to assess the current state of affairs, and identify mobility gaps for island residents, in order to determine how authorities can intervene and facilitate improvements.
