Washington State Ferries offers a school discount available to students and staff on educational-related field trips.
We require an original letter, on your school's letterhead, stating this is a school-sponsored function or field trip, signed by an Administrator or Transportation Coordinator. The letter, along with the appropriate vehicle & driver fare + $2, is given to the ticker seller at the time of travel.
Each vehicle needs to have an original copy of the letter. This allows for a $2 fare to cover every passenger in the vehicle. If the group is walking on then the total fare is indeed only $2.
Non-profit organizations do not qualify for the school discounted rate. If you have a question about your qualifications please speak to an Information Agent at 206-464-6400.
If you qualify, you may download the School Group Discount Letter, print it out on school letterhead and fill it out, and bring it to the terminal on your day of travel.
