It was great to network with others in transportation and hear about the successes 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! <https://content.govdelivery.com/attachments/fancy_images/WADOT/2023/05/7625321/4749009/wts_crop.jpg> 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.

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. <https://content.govdelivery.com/attachments/fancy_images/WADOT/2023/05/7625324/4749010/pse-mou_crop.jpg> Chief of Staff Nicole McIntosh and PSE Director of New Product Development Will Einstein, along with electrification teams from both agencies at the MOU signing.

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 <https://content.govdelivery.com/attachments/fancy_images/WADOT/2019/10/2874401/2843787/social-logo_crop.jpg> WSF Weekly Updates are available online at www.wsdot.wa.gov/ferries/about-us/weekly-update <https://lnks.gd/l/eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiJ9.eyJidWxsZXRpbl9saW5rX2lkIjoxMTIsInVyaSI6ImJwMjpjbGljayIsInVybCI6Imh0 dHBzOi8vd3d3LndzZG90LndhLmdvdi9mZXJyaWVzL2Fib3V0LXVzL3dlZWtseS11cGRhdGUiLCJidWxsZXRpbl9pZCI6IjIwMjMwNTE4Ljc2OTYyNTkxIn0.1jPvkWMOEaJBNm3eg5Ucr7ze9JgujyxmIoo2oW3N9iU/s/591618619/br/199630961911-l> Questions?

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 dHBzOi8vZ2lzbWFwcy5raW5nY291bnR5Lmdvdi9NeUNvbW11dGUvP2Jhc2VtYXA9YmFzZW1hcEtDJmNsaWQ9MjU4NiIsImJ1bGxldGluX2lkIjoiMjAyMzA1MTguNzY5NjI1OTEifQ.z2BdRh1cF5rRV787ZY7ZK04HZIQXJ0V0y65xWl4cv5c/s/591618619/br/1 99630961911-l> at the same site as recent slide repair and roadside drainage work.

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 <https://content.govdelivery.com/attachments/fancy_images/WADOT/2019/10/2874401/2843787/social-logo_crop.jpg> WSF Weekly Updates are available online at www.wsdot.wa.gov/ferries/about-us/weekly-update <https://lnks.gd/l/eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiJ9.eyJidWxsZXRpbl9saW5rX2lkIjoxMTIsInVyaSI6ImJwMjpjbGljayIsInVybCI6Imh0 dHBzOi8vd3d3LndzZG90LndhLmdvdi9mZXJyaWVzL2Fib3V0LXVzL3dlZWtseS11cGRhdGUiLCJidWxsZXRpbl9pZCI6IjIwMjMwNTE4Ljc2OTYyNTkxIn0.1jPvkWMOEaJBNm3eg5Ucr7ze9JgujyxmIoo2oW3N9iU/s/591618619/br/199630961911-l> Questions?
