One-way ferry fares for vehicles could increase by about $1
BREMERTON — Prepare to pay more for a trip on a Washington State Ferry.
On Wednesday, the state Transportation Commission recommended boosting prices to cover the higher costs of day-to-day operations, building of a new hybrid-electric ferry and converting of two existing vessels to run on electricity and fuel.
Vehicle fares would rise 2.5 percent Oct. 1 and another 2.5 percent May 1, 2020 under a draft proposal endorsed unanimously by the commission’s seven citizen members. Fares for walk-ons would climb 2 percent on each of those dates.
Plus a surcharge used solely for vessel construction, which is now a quarter, would go up to 50 cents May 1, 2020.
