Abreu asks about Staten Island Ferry resources and challenges

Unlike New York City Ferry, the Staten Island Ferry,

is operated directly by DOT, which you could call the city's longest running fast and free public transit service.

Does the Staten Island Ferry currently have enough resources to meet the demands on the system?

Currently, yes.

What are the primary challenges facing the Staten Island Ferry?

Staffing is always an issue.

You know, licensed mariners filling civil service titles.

And also NYPD coverage is an issue on the Staten Island Ferry.

How often does DOT evaluate Staten Island Ferry Service to identify needed operational or policy changes?

Well, Staten Island Ferry Service runs on a mandated schedule under the city's administrative code.

So we just follow Coast Guard regulations and we follow the mandated schedule and do it as safe an operation as we can.

And the frequency...

Actually, just disregard that.

I'll move on to the next question.
