 For the first time in five years, rates will be increasing for people who want to use the Maine State Ferry Service. The new rates go into effect August 1st and will help increase annual fare revenue by more than 18%. Right now, the State Department of Transportation in Maine is struggling to staff ferries, and it has hired an out-of-state agency to try and address that shortage. It's 541 on the Pulse of New Hampshire. Good morning.
