Guemes Island Ferry 2023 Rate Study
Guemes Island Ferry 2023 Rate Study
Skagit County Public Works is proposing an increase to ferry rates in 2023. Skagit County has hired a Consultant, KPFF, to conduct a rate study. The objectives of the study are:
• Reduce the road fund subsidy that contributes to the ferry operating deficit each year
• Simplify the fare structure for future implementation of electronic ticketing
• Use previous studies and stakeholder input to guide the process
• Evaluate opportunities for additional and ancillary revenue
• Recommend fare policies for existing ferry operations while planning for future ferry replacement
Public Works hosted an open house on January 3 , 2023 as an opportunity for the public to weigh in early in the process. A recording of that https://vimeo.com/786711328.
