Proposed fare increase for ferries proposed for October - share your opinion

Saturday, June 29, 2019

Photo by Mike Remarcke


Ferry customers and anyone with an interest in Washington State Ferries fares are being asked to weigh in on a new fare proposal that would take effect starting this October. 

The Washington State Transportation Commission has released its proposal to increase ferry fares over the next two years. The proposed increase must generate $407 million in fare revenue between July 1, 2019, and June 30, 2021, as required in the recently passed two-year state transportation budget for Washington State Ferries operations.

The commission’s proposal includes two ferry fare increases over the next two years and an increase in the current capital surcharge paid on each fare, as required by the Legislature to support construction of a new vessel.

The commission proposed these increases after considering input from Washington State Ferries, the Ferry Advisory Committee on Tariffs, and public input gathered through a series of ferry community meetings in April and May 2019.

A summary of the ferry fare and policy proposal is as follows:
  • Proposed fare increase for Oct. 1, 2019
  • 2.5 percent fare increase for vehicles
  • An additional 5 percent fare increase for oversize vehicles on the Anacortes/ Sidney, B.C., route
  • 2 percent fare increase for passengers
  • Reservation no-show fee will be increased up to 100 percent of the one-way fare paid, based on a standard-sized vehicle
  • The time in which transfers can be made on the San Juan Islands Inter-island ferry is valid through the end of the service day it was issued
  • Proposed fare increase for May 1, 2020
  • 2.5 percent fare increase for small and standard sized vehicles
  • An additional 5 percent fare increase for oversize vehicles on the Anacortes/ Sidney, B.C., route
  • 2 percent fare increase for passengers
  • 25-cent increase for the capital surcharge, dedicated to the construction of a new vessel
This proposal also allows Washington State Ferries to pursue two different potential pilot programs to test changes to fares and fare collection methods:

  • Low Income Fare Pilot: Starting no earlier than 2020 and contingent on receiving funding from the State Legislature and approval from the commission, this pilot would test a special passenger fare for low-income customers. If implemented, the pilot would run for no more than three years.
  • “Good to Go!” Pilot: This pilot would test the use of the “Good to Go!” system currently used to collect tolls on highways and bridges, to also collect ferry fares. Special fares might be established as part of this pilot, with approval from the commission. If implemented, the pilot would run for up to three years.

The commission will hold its final hearing on the fare proposal from 10am to noon, Tuesday, August 6, at the Puget Sound Regional Council’s Board Room, 1011 Western Ave., Ste 500, Seattle. Public comment will be taken and the commission is expected to vote on the final fare and policy changes at this hearing.

Through Monday, July 29, the public is encouraged to provide comments on all of the proposed fare changes. 

Comments can be provided in the following formats:
  • Online open house: Learn more about the fare proposal and “vote” on each proposed change HERE
  • Email: transc@wstc.wa.gov. Please indicate “Ferry Fares” in the subject line
  • In writing: 
    • Washington State Transportation Commission P.O. Box 47308, Olympia, WA 98504-7308

Aurora in Seattle down to one lane in each direction for repaving, June 1-2 - more closures to come

Thursday, May 30, 2019

Work zones on SR99
WSDOT

After nearly a year of painting and steel repairs under the State Route 99 Aurora Avenue bridge, work will shift to the topside this weekend when crews begin repaving the historic bridge.

Space is limited on the bridge deck. To protect travelers and provide a safe work zone for contractor crews, both directions of SR 99 will reduce to a single lane from 7pm Friday, May 31, until 5am Monday, June 3. 

During this time, people traveling in the area should expect backups and delays between the SR 99 tunnel and Green Lake.

During the lane reduction, contractor crews working for the Washington State Department of Transportation will scrape off old asphalt, make any needed repairs to the bridge deck, then pave a new layer of asphalt on the southern end of the northbound lanes. The work is extremely weather-dependent, said WSDOT Project Engineer Ed Kane.

“Before we pave new asphalt on the bridge we need to install a waterproof layer, but we need the bridgedeck to be completely dry for 24 hours before we can do that,” he explained. 
“We’ll watch the weather forecast carefully leading up to the weekend. We hope to complete this work as soon as possible this summer.”

Travelers need to plan for delays
While the Aurora bridge will remain open for vehicles, people who usually travel across the bridge need to allow extra time and consider alternatives:
  • Take the bus.
  • Carpool.
  • Walk or bicycle – the walkway on the west (southbound) side of the bridge remains open.
  • People who drive should plan for heavy traffic on alternative routes like I-5 and city streets.

Before heading out the door, travelers can check get real-time traffic information with the WSDOT mobile app and the WSDOT Traffic Twitter feed.

Preserving the bridge and highway
The work is part of a major project to rehabilitate the 88-year-old structure, officially known as the George Washington Bridge. Since last summer, crews have been painting the supporting structure and repairing worn steel portions of the span. To pave the bridge, crews will reduce it to one lane in each direction for up to 10 weekends. Weekend work will be from 7pm Friday to 5am Monday, the weekends of:
  • June 14-17
  • June 28-July 1
  • July 12-15
  • August 9-12, 16-19 and 23-26

In addition to preserving the bridge, the paving is part of a larger effort to resurface SR 99 from Roy Street near downtown Seattle to N 145th St and the Seattle/Shoreline city limits.

Even with lane closures, access to businesses will remain open along the corridor.

Rod delivers a van to the Northwest School for Deaf and Hard-of-Hearing Children


Metropolitan King County Council Chair Rod Dembowski announced that four local organizations, including a school in Shoreline, will receive retired Metro Transit Vanpool vans to provide transportation assistance to low-income, elderly or young people, or people with disabilities.

“There are so many organizations doing amazing work in our community,” said Dembowski. 
“I am honored to secure a retired King County van for each of these recipients, to help support their work with youth and folks with disabilities. The mobility that a van brings will help increase their capacity to continue serving those in need, by providing access to enriching educational, social, and recreational experiences.”

The organizations nominated by Councilmember Dembowski to receive vans this year are:

"We are incredibly grateful for all Councilmember Dembowski does to champion the needs of deaf/hard-of-hearing children, invest in our school’s educational programs and strengthen the quality of education throughout our local community,” said Kabian Rendel, Head of School at Northwest School for Deaf and Hard-of-Hearing Children.
“Thanks to King County, and the transfer of this van, we can provide our students daily interaction with hearing peers in general education settings and hands-on, educational field trips throughout the year.”

Delivery to current grant cycle recipients is anticipated in mid-2019. Interested organizations can contact Councilmember Dembowski for more information on applying for a vehicle in future grant cycles.

Shoreline-Lake Forest Park Community Van is recruiting volunteer drivers

Thursday, March 28, 2019

Your new Shoreline-Lake Forest Park Community Van is looking for Volunteer Drivers to help us grow the program. 

"We have gotten a lot of interest from the community to use this service but need more Volunteer Drivers to fulfill this need!"

Volunteer Drivers choose which trips they want to drive for and how often. 

As an approved Community Van driver you can even initiate your own trips for where you need to go! 

This is great for reducing wear and tear on your personal car and being able to accommodate larger groups. Metro provides the vehicles, gas, maintenance, and insurance. You provide the time and driving skills.

Get started today so you can help a neighbor get to their food bank appointment, grocery/errands, Senior Centers, children’s birthday parties, social events, or just to get out to visit a friend when they otherwise wouldn’t be able to.

Becoming a Volunteer Driver is an easy process that can be done in 3 steps:

1. Fill out an application and e-mail the completed application to communityvan@hopelink.org. We can also pick up the application in person!

2. Take the New Driver Orientation. This orientation is typically one hour long and can be completed in the comfort of your own home via Skype or over the phone.

3. Train in Accessible Equipment and Disability Awareness! Held in-person in, this training will cover how to load and unload a passenger in a wheelchair--because we value accessible transportation--and basic safety measures.

After you are done, Bree will give you a Volunteer Driver mug and will reach out with fun opportunities to drive in the community. You decide how often and when you want to drive!

Contact Bree for questions or to get started: communityvan@hopelink.org or 425-943-6721

Check out more info about the program here and make sure to follow our Facebook page for more updates and trips ideas.

99,000 runners and walkers say goodbye to the viaduct Saturday

Sunday, February 3, 2019

Photographers, security, and a terrific view of tunnel entrance and city

Photos by Cynthia Sheridan

99,000 people came to say #goodbyeviaduct and say hello #99tunnel on Saturday, February 2, 2019 (Groundhog Day).

At the start line under darkish skies


That's 70,000 who walked on the tunnel and the viaduct, and 29,000 who participated in the Tunnel to Viaduct 8K.9

Lake Forest Park resident (and Shoreline Area News contributor) Cynthia Sheridan was there on Saturday.

Rubbing elbows with Gov. Jay Inslee


Cynthia reports:

Groundhog Day seemed like a very appropriate time to celebrate the opening of a tunnel, according to Governor Inslee, who kicked off Seattle's ribbon-cutting ceremony Saturday February 2nd.

Dignitaries and other visitors at the ribbon cutting


There were plenty of dignitaries on hand at the south portal, where visitors could either walk or ride a shuttle bus along the new stretch of highway.


Riding the shuttle through the shiny new tunnel


Outside it was cool and cloudy but inside the tunnel it was toasty warm, brightly lit and shiny new.

Other activities included a fun run, a walk on the old viaduct, and plenty of food booths. Metro offered shuttle rides in both directions to accommodate north and south portal festivities.

As of Monday, the tunnel is officially open. The viaduct will be dismantled this month.

Metro in the snow


Transit service in Seattle and King County could be affected by snow, ice or wind Monday morning and during the next few days. 

Forecasts and predictions about the possibility of snow are constantly being updated. It is not possible to predict the exact timing or locations, if any, of potential transit service impacts due to the weather.

While Metro utilizes all available resources to operate service as normally as possible during unexpected or adverse weather or other conditions, the safety of everyone is the highest priority.

Buses may be delayed or rerouted, and Metro staff cannot predict affected areas or tell riders exactly when a specific bus might get to a stop.

Snow or ice operation
If Metro service is significantly affected by snow or other weather-related events, the Metro website will be updated and Transit Alerts will be sent to affected subscribers.

A weekend of events for the new SR99 tunnel

Saturday, February 2, 2019


After nearly two decades of planning and construction, the State Route 99 tunnel under downtown Seattle is about to open.

Foot traffic – not cars, trucks and buses – will be the first to enjoy a two-mile-long journey under downtown Seattle and nostalgic last visit of the old viaduct during the grand opening celebration.

The Washington State Department of Transportation will host a weekend-long celebration.

The bulk of the fun will occur on Saturday, Feb. 2, with a fun run, a ribbon cutting, an opportunity for people to walk the tunnel and viaduct, an arts festival to celebrate the future waterfront, and science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) activities at the tunnel's entrances. Live music and food trucks will round out the family-oriented celebration.

Gov. Jay Inslee will cut the ribbon to the tunnel on Saturday.

“This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for Washingtonians to celebrate a project that will transform Seattle and the region,” said Inslee. “The event celebrates the vision and innovation that is helping us plan and develop for our region’s future.”

The weekend culminates on Sunday, Feb. 3 with a 12.5-mile bike ride through the tunnel and onto the viaduct.

Saturday events
The first to set foot in the new tunnel will be more than 20,000 participants in an 8K fun run and walk sponsored by the HNTB Corporation. The route will take runners through the new tunnel, onto the viaduct and through the Battery Street Tunnel.

The ribbon-cutting near the south portal will mark the ceremonial opening of North America’s largest bored tunnel. After the ribbon is cut, the public can explore:

  • The new SR 99 tunnel
  • An arts festival featuring more than 100 local artists, installations and a community celebration on the viaduct tour.
  • Community festivals near the stadiums and Seattle Center, with food trucks, live music and STEM activities.

Sunday morning bike ride (sold out) - 12,000 riders
The weekend celebration concludes Sunday morning with the 12.5-mile Tunnel Ride, which has sold out with 12,000 riders. The bike ride is scheduled to start at 8 a.m. and will take riders through the both south and northbound lanes of the new tunnel AND both the upper and lower decks of the viaduct.

Know before you go
More than 100,000 people are expected for the weekend celebration. Most of the 75,000 free tickets are accounted for, the bike ride is sold out and the fun run is expected to have nearly 25,000 participants. WSDOT has posted a blog with more details that includes five things you should know in preparation for the event.

What’s next
WSDOT expects to have the tunnel open to traffic in time for the commute on Monday morning, Feb. 4. Construction of a new northbound off-ramp to South Dearborn Street near the stadiums will continue for up to two weeks after the tunnel opens.

For up-to-date information on highway closures and construction activity associated with SR 99, visit the Alaskan Way Viaduct Replacement Program website, or follow the project on Twitter.

New public transportation options for Shoreline and Lake Forest Park

Friday, February 1, 2019

Community Van
In 2017, Metro’s Community Connections Program embarked on a project to understand the transportation needs of people who live, work, or go to school in Shoreline and Lake Forest Park.

Input centered on needs for flexible evening service to connect people to locations around the community and easier transportation options for those traveling off the existing fixed-route network.

Input also indicated that solutions should be easy to recognize as Metro services, offered at a similar price point to existing services, and maintain availability even as personal schedules change.

Community Ride
In collaboration with a working group comprised of stakeholders from the City of Shoreline, City of Lake Forest Park and Shoreline Community College, the Shoreline-Lake Forest Park Community Ride and Community Van were the chosen solutions.

The Community Ride service is offered by King County Metro and operated under contract by Hopelink Transportation. 

Community Van is also offered by King County Metro, and the Community Transportation Coordinator role will operate under contract by Hopelink Mobility Management.

“The launch of Community Ride and Community Van programs serving Shoreline and Lake Forest Park is an exciting step in improving access to transit,” said Council Chair Rod Dembowski.  
“Many folks in our community are unable to use our existing fixed route service, and these new options take advantage of technology and flexible scheduling to expand their transportation choices  
"King County Metro is consistently implementing new strategies to meet customer needs, and I am excited to see how these services help to get people where they need to go when traditional bus service isn’t available to them.”

Community Ride: Metro launches on-demand evening shuttle for Lake Forest Park and north central Shoreline

Community Ride for LFP and most of Shoreline
launches February 5, 2019
The Shoreline-Lake Forest Park Community Ride service launches February 5, 2019 in Lake Forest Park and the eastern portion of Shoreline, including Shoreline Community College.

It will provide on-demand, evening transportation service within the area.

The Community Ride service travels within a specified area instead of traveling along a fixed route with a set schedule.

Shoreline-Lake Forest Park’s service differs from existing Community Ride services in that it is app-enabled and on demand. Advanced reservations are not required, nor available.

Service map for Shoreline-Lake Forest Park Community Ride;
open to anyone who lives, works or goes to school within the territory

The new service will operate in the evenings only and allow residents to easily connect to local points of interest as well as transportation hubs. 

In 2014, Shoreline’s bus route 331 ceased its evening operation due to low ridership at the time. 

Community Ride will address the resulting gap in service past 6pm.

How to use Community Ride
  • Book trips on-demand using the Community Ride app anywhere throughout the service area. Starting Tuesday, February 5, download the Community Ride app by visiting the App Store (iOS) or the Google Play store (Android) and searching “Community Ride.”
  • Riders without access to a smartphone or data plan may book rides by phone at 1-855-233-1880.
  • Hours of operation: Monday – Saturday 6pm to 11pm and Sunday 6pm to 10pm.
  • All Community Ride vehicles are wheelchair accessible and have bike racks.
  • All standard Metro fares and payment methods apply, including ORCA, cash, paper transfers and mobile ticketing.

Metro has also launched a 24/7 reservation-based, group trip transportation option called Community Van. See article.

Shoreline-Lake Forest Park Community Van provides residents with a 24/7 reservation-based, group trip transportation option

Community van service is available to Shoreline and LFP residents 24/7
and is reserved in advance for 2 - 12 people

The new Shoreline-Lake Forest Park Community Van can provide group trips 24/7 and is reserved in advance.
 
Group trip requests are made through a local Community Transportation Coordinator. This local, paid representative then finds a volunteer driver to fulfill the trip request and makes the transportation opportunity public to the community at large. The minimum group size is two riders plus a driver.

The Community Van service is available to any resident of Shoreline or Lake Forest Park. The service area is flexible; reserved trips must simply originate within the boundaries of the cities of Shoreline or Lake Forest Park.

This person-to-person booking approach has been successfully implemented by Metro in partnership with other communities such as Bothell-Woodinville, Vashon, and Duvall.

How to use Community Van
  • Preschedule a Community Van trip by contacting Shoreline-Lake Forest Park’s Community Transportation Coordinator, Bree Boyce, at Communityvan@Hopelink.org.
  • Make a new trip request at least 48 hours in advance of your desired trip. Riders wishing to join existing scheduled trips may join same day by contacting the CTC. 
  • Community Van is eligible for use 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
  • Community Van has 12 passenger or 6 passenger vans available, depending on group size. ADA-equipped vans are available upon request.
  • All monthly ORCA passes, including transfers, are accepted along with mobile tickets via the Transit GO app. Drivers are unable to accept cash payment.

Metro has also launched an evening shuttle service for Lake Forest Park and north central Shoreline called Community Ride. See the article.

#Realign99 closure update

Friday, January 25, 2019

Map of SR 99 closure through downtown Seattle


From WSDOT

Although we're halfway through the three-week #Realign99 closure, we still have a ways to go until the new SR 99 tunnel opens. Which means we still need your help to keep the regional transportation system moving.

Generally, we're seeing drivers get on the roads about an hour earlier than average for a typical weekday. As of Tuesday, January 22, King County Metro standby buses had carried 27,067 riders on 792 trips, and the West Seattle Water Taxi had carried 14,810 riders, which is more than triple the ridership compared to last year.

The Seattle Department of Transportation has also observed an increase in bicycle trips on all major routes with bicycle counters.

If you’ve made changes to your commute to eliminate or reduce single-occupancy trips, it’s important that you stay the course. 

And if you have yet to shift your commute style, it’s not too late to come up with a plan:
