The following petition is designed to draw attention to our State Legislature and local elected officials of the importance and relevance of maintaining the Seastreak Ferry Service from Monmouth County to New York. It is imperative that not only the service, but the equipment (4 High Speed Catamaran Ferries) remain in the county and remain in use for the riders. There appears to be an offer to sell the 4 Catamarans (Wall Street, Highlands, New York and New Jersey) to Trinidad, thereby removing a critical lifeline for the local economy. It should be noted that there are over 5000 daily commuters that live in a majority of the districts of Northern Monmouth County. This 35 minute service to Manhattan provides significant value to our real estate and high standard of living.

We need this service. Traffic on the GSP is bad enough already if u take 5000 people and put them in cars it will be a nightmare.

This ferry is the only reason I can live in Monmouth and work in the city. Without it my commute goes from 35 mins to 2 hours. This is insane.

Commuting is hard enough as it is. Dont take away our lifeline to the city. My home value will tank if this goes away.
