Service restoration update
Recent unexpected retirements, resignations and protected leaves of absence have caused attrition to outpace our recruiting and training efforts, especially among licensed vessel crews.
Because of this crewing situation, as well as vessel availability constraints, we will not be able to trial pre-pandemic three-boat weekday service on our Fauntleroy/Vashon/Southworth
route until early next year. This updated timeline also affects the start of trialing a second boat on our Seattle/Bremerton run, which we’ll shift our efforts to once our “Triangle”
route is considered fully restored (PDF 794KB) <https://lnks.gd/l/eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiJ9.eyJidWxsZXRpbl9saW5rX2lkIjoxMDAsInVyaSI6ImJwMjpjbGljayIsInVybCI6Imh0dHBzOi8vd3Nkb3Qud2EuZ292L3NpdGVzL2RlZmF1bHQ

The governor and the legislature have invested in programs necessary to restore pre-pandemic crewing levels and funding for new vessels, but it will take time to build both.
In the meantime, we’ll soon start putting a third boat into service on our Fauntleroy/Vashon/Southworth run when crewing and vessel availability allow. During a recent public meeting
