How is WSF considering changing the schedule?
This summer, Triangle route service will look a bit different on weekdays and weekends.
Summer weekday – two-boat backup schedule
WSF plans to operate a standard three-boat schedule on weekdays. WSF also needs a more reliable two-boat backup schedule for weekdays, since there may be times when we don’t have enough crew or boats to serve the route for a variety of reasons.
Below is a look at proposed changes to the two-boat backup weekday schedule.
| Time of Day | Schedule Change |
|---|---|
| 5 – 8 a.m. | – Adjusted dwell time – Improved trip spacing – Adjusted trip times |
| 8 a.m. – noon | – Increased dwell time – Removed a trip – Minor pattern changes – Adjusted trip times |
| Noon – 5 a.m. | No change |
Weekday schedule change highlights:
- Change the 8:35 a.m. Southworth departure to 8:30 a.m. by reducing dwell time to 13 minutes.
- Increases the gap between the WSF ferry and Kitsap Fast Ferry, scheduled to arrive at Southworth at 8:36 a.m.
- Remove 10:55 a.m. Vashon to Southworth trip.
- Change the 5:50 a.m. Fauntleroy departure to 5:45 a.m., reducing dwell time to 10 minutes.
- Change the 7:25 a.m. Fauntleroy to Vashon trip to 7:20 a.m., increasing time before the 7:40 a.m. Fauntleroy departure.
- Increase dwell time on the 9:10 a.m. Fauntleroy departure to 15 minutes to allow for sewage pumping.
- Adjust the pattern of both vessels to add more time between mid-morning sailings.
