SEATTLE - Representatives from the ferry system will visit local communities served by ferries to share important information and receive valuable feedback from customers.
The Washington State Department of Transportation Ferries Division is holding a series of community meetings to provide information, answer questions and hear from customers on a variety of issues, including new vessels, upcoming terminal construction projects, and the governor's Connecting Washington Task Force.
"I'm looking forward to this round of community meetings," said David Moseley, assistant secretary of WSDOT Ferries Division. "The upcoming legislative session will be critical for state transportation. I encourage customers to attend the meetings so we can discuss important issues and concerns."
During the meetings, Assistant Secretary David Moseley will present on state and route-specific issues. There will be an opportunity to ask questions and provide feedback to Moseley and his team.
