Ferry Vessel and Terminal Planning

Implement recommendations from the 2007 Joint Transportation Committee (JTC) ferry study by directing Washington State Ferries (WSF) to develop and maintain the following:

• a vessel deployment plan to ensure that the fleet is being used as efficiently as possible

• a vessel maintenance and preservation program, which must include measures to maximize efficiency by reducing dry-dock time; and notification to the legislature of any vessels not being maintained according to it’s established schedule.

• a vessel rebuild and replacement plan that provides a timeline for vessel acquisition and identifies future capital needs.
