publicinput.comWater Taxi Expansion Survey - PublicInput.comKing County Metro currently operates the King County Water Taxi which provides passenger-only ferry service from downtown Seattle to West Seattle and Vashon Island. Passenger-only ferries are a comfortable way to travel usually providing a seat for all passengers and allowing them the ability to use travel time to work or relax and enjoy the views. Because ferries are not impacted by roadway traffic they offer a consistent and reliable travel time. The King County Council through a budget proviso has asked Metro to prepare and transmit a report that outlines a plan for potential future service to the Ballard and Kenmore communities. As part of that report Metro is looking for feedback on how you currently travel to better understand whether a passenger-only ferry could be an option. Potential routes being considered: Ballard to downtown Seattle and/or the Expedia campus (Interbay) Kenmore to Seattle (University of Washington Madison Park Leschi Park or the Portage Bay area) We are also interested to know if you have any comments or suggestions about potential passenger-only ferry service.
