Good Afternoon,
The ferry system in Washington is broken. This is not news to many of you in the 10th district. July alone has had the most ferry cancellations of any month since last September. The Governor, WSDOT, and legislative majority leaders have neglected the system for far too long which has led to unreliable service. Long waits to travel on and off of our beautiful island cost you time and money. I feel the level of frustration that you feel. My family farm and business require the ferry. When I return to and from Olympia each session, my travel depends on the ferry. The tourists visiting our cities and spending money in our economy depend on these ferries. But most importantly to me, are the citizens of the tenth district who rely on ferries to reach family members and jobs.
Part of this problem is related to adequate crewing. We have a shortage of workers who can operate a ferry. Deck crews are underpaid and overworked, and credentialing captains and mates takes a long time. I have worked and will continue to work, to make sure we are allocating enough resources to hire, train, and retain enough crew to keep our fleet running, and am very frustrated that WSF has not made the kind of progress we need to see in meeting the shortage.
