As Washington State Ferries steers forward into the 21st century, it faces many challenges in upholding its vision "to be the most efficient, affordable, customer-focused ferry operator in the world." Whether managing existing demand, programming service, estimating capital needs, reducing operating costs, or maintaining its aging fleet and terminal facilities, Washington State Ferries (WSF) must understand the needs and travel patterns of its customers to achieve its vision. To this end, WSF embarked on a comprehensive, system-wide travel survey in the spring of 1999 to obtain customer travel data to ensure that capital investments and service improvements are appropriate in light of a dynamic future. The full survey report and related information are made available on this web site.
