WSTC survey on possible ferry fare changes

and challenges at other agencies. During a panel discussion about creating diverse organizations, it was clear that we are leading the way in this area. The conference also reaffirmed
for me how important training is – not just for new hires, but throughout the careers of all our employees. We must also think constantly about how our industry is changing and be proactive
about the new skills staff will need with the ever-changing technological advances!

During a session about “Surviving the Silver Tsunami,” there was robust discussion on how to attract the various generations in the workforce into roles we need to fill.
Puget Sound Energy electrification partnership
We signed a partnership agreement with Puget Sound Energy last week to electrify eight of our terminals. That’s half of the docks we’re planning to retrofit as part of our electrification
efforts <https://lnks.gd/l/eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiJ9.eyJidWxsZXRpbl9saW5rX2lkIjoxMDYsInVyaSI6ImJwMjpjbGljayIsInVybCI6Imh0dHBzOi8vd3Nkb3Qud2EuZ292L2NvbnN0cnVjdGlvbi1wbGFubmluZy9tYWpvci1wcm9qZWN0cy9mZXJyeS

2025 with our Bainbridge terminal. PSE is one of five utilities we’re partnering with as we transition to a hybrid-electric ferry system that will reduce greenhouse gases and improve
local air quality.

Temporary traffic shift on SR 525 at Clinton terminal
A temporary lane configuration was set up last week on State Route 525 just outside our Clinton terminal. The two southbound lanes heading toward the dock (one for local traffic and
one for ferry loading) were shifted left for work on a pedestrian improvement project <https://lnks.gd/l/eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiJ9.eyJidWxsZXRpbl9saW5rX2lkIjoxMTAsInVyaSI6ImJwMjpjbGljayIsInVybCI6Imh0dHBz

xIn0.J3tXg3GExHJwid7ZM3AvelRsmHm5ienFqjlmY5USrXs/s/591618619/br/199630961911-l> . That leaves just a single northbound lane for traffic leaving the terminal, so plan for possible delays
during busy travel times. Construction is scheduled to wrap up in mid-June with the lane configuration shifting back to normal.
Lane closure near Tahlequah terminal returns May 22-26
A detour for vehicles leaving our Tahlequah terminal on the south end of Vashon Island will return next week. The northbound lane of Vashon Highway Southwest just north of the dock will
close at 8 a.m. Monday, May 22, for King County Road Services guardrail installation work <https://lnks.gd/l/eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiJ9.eyJidWxsZXRpbl9saW5rX2lkIjoxMTEsInVyaSI6ImJwMjpjbGljayIsInVybCI6Imh0

“[…] I rode the ferry as a ‘scoot on’ passenger as I am on a knee scooter for a broken ankle. When Ashley [Kelly, ordinary sailor] saw me getting on the boat she made sure the ramp was
lowered enough for me to safely get on the boat. Then when I was seated she [came] over and let me know she let the crew know to keep the ramp level for me to easily disembark the boat.
She went above and beyond the call of duty to make sure the ferry was safe and accessible for me. I really appreciated her care, concern, and courtesy. Her thoughtfulness made my day
and made for a wonderful ferry trip.”
-Seattle/Bainbridge customer

A temporary lane configuration was set up last week on State Route 525 just outside our Clinton terminal. The two southbound lanes heading toward the dock (one for local traffic and
one for ferry loading) were shifted left for work on a pedestrian improvement project <https://lnks.gd/l/eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiJ9.eyJidWxsZXRpbl9saW5rX2lkIjoxMTAsInVyaSI6ImJwMjpjbGljayIsInVybCI6Imh0dHBz

during busy travel times. Construction is scheduled to wrap up in mid-June with the lane configuration shifting back to normal.
Lane closure near Tahlequah terminal returns May 22-26
A detour for vehicles leaving our Tahlequah terminal on the south end of Vashon Island will return next week. The northbound lane of Vashon Highway Southwest just north of the dock will
close at 8 a.m. Monday, May 22, for King County Road Services guardrail installation work <https://lnks.gd/l/eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiJ9.eyJidWxsZXRpbl9saW5rX2lkIjoxMTEsInVyaSI6ImJwMjpjbGljayIsInVybCI6Imh0

“[…] I rode the ferry as a ‘scoot on’ passenger as I am on a knee scooter for a broken ankle. When Ashley [Kelly, ordinary sailor] saw me getting on the boat she made sure the ramp was
lowered enough for me to safely get on the boat. Then when I was seated she [came] over and let me know she let the crew know to keep the ramp level for me to easily disembark the boat.
She went above and beyond the call of duty to make sure the ferry was safe and accessible for me. I really appreciated her care, concern, and courtesy. Her thoughtfulness made my day
and made for a wonderful ferry trip.”
-Seattle/Bainbridge customer
