Short Summary

Funding has been discontinued for the Algiers ferry that runs across the Mississippi River from New Orleans' French Quarter to the Westbank (the Ms River's West bank). In the BESST CASE SCENARIO  Gov Jindal will sign pending legislation to fund the ferries. But the Algiers Ferry will run only 20 hours a week. That is not real public transportation.

We want all of us as citizens to lease the ferry ourselves to ensure we keep it running. So far we have businsesses and regular folks coming forward with plans to serve drinks, serve food via food trucks, sell advertising on the deck (millions of people see it each year from the riverbank), have a floating market, jazz brunch, and improv comedy. There are no doubt tons of other typically New Orleans revenue producing ideas we'll hear about from you as this unfolds.

What We Need & What You Get

$1

Instead of paying what was $1 to cross the bridge, give $1 to SEND A MESSAGE ABOUT FUNDING THE FERRY. If we don't pull this off and you don't actually spend $1 you can still be a part of all of us doing what we can to advance a workable economic plan to SAVE THE FERRY.
