Community Survey on V.I.P.A. Proposed Marine Tariff Increase
The Office of Senator Angel L. Bolques Jr., Senator At Large, is conducting this survey to ensure that any proposed rate adjustments by V.I.P.A. reflect transparency, fairness, and the economic realities of Virgin Islanders—especially those on St. John, where higher import costs already affect daily living. Your input will help guide legislative oversight, promote accountability, and protect residents and small businesses from unreasonable financial burdens. This survey seeks feedback from residents, business owners, and community stakeholders across the Virgin Islands regarding the Virgin Islands Port Authority’s (V.I.P.A.) proposed increases and new fees under its marine tariff structure.
