Abstract:

The U.S. Postal Service (USPS) proposes to transport bypass and non-priority mail by hovercraft (also known as air cushioned vehecles) on a year-round basis from the city of Bethel to nine Alaskan villages alon teh Kuskokwin, Johnson, and Pikmiktalik rivers. To optimize the hovercraft mail transport activity and satisfy bypass and non-priority mail service standards, transport of bypass and non-priority mail by hovercraft wuold be supplemented, as needed, with alternate modes of transportation such as trucks, snow machines, all terrain vehicles, boats, and planes. The project is needed to assist the USPS in meeting its mission in the Bethel area, which is to provide prompt, reliable, and efficient postal service within mail service standards. Specifically, a proven method to transport bypass and non-priority mail to rural areas surrounding Bethel is needed that will economically satisfy mail service standards.
