As summer approaches, Washington State Ferries (WSF) is gearing up to ramp up their services. The agency is gearing to host a pair of back-to-back online community meetings slated for May 21 and 22. The purpose of these sessions is to lay out the details for the anticipated uptick in demand and to give updates on the latest projects in the pipeline. They are also an opportunity for the public to weigh in on fare proposals put forward by the Washington State Transportation Commission.
These virtual gatherings are set up for noon on Wednesday, May 21, and for 6 p.m. on Thursday, May 22. Those who wish to be part of the dialogue will need to register beforehand to partake in the online meetings, which will be hosted through Zoom. Whether it's about the service plans for the upcoming season or the progress being made on constructing new ferries, registrants can expect to get a full rundown of what's ahead for WSF.
According to the announcement on WSF's website, these sessions are designed to accommodate participants' schedules by offering two separate times to tune in. Meeting attendees can look forward to engaging with WSF leaders, as there will be a question-and-answer segment built into the program, and individuals can also submit their comments or queries ahead of time via email.
For those concerned about internet access, Washington State Department of Transportation has got you covered by providing free, temporary internet hotspots throughout the state. To locate one of these drive-in WiFi hotspots, the public can access the state's own hotspot location finder online. For ferry enthusiasts or daily commuters, WSF continues to stand as the U.S.'s largest ferry system, responsible for transporting millions against the backdrop of Washington's scenic vistas. For real-time updates on ferry whereabouts or service alerts, WSF encourages riders to use the real-time map feature online and sign up for rider alerts.
