*These routes operate as a one-point toll collection system with round trip tolls.

¹SIZE - Vehicles under 14' in length shall pay the vehicle under 14' toll. Customers may be required to provide documentation, digitally or on paper, at the tollbooth to prove vehicle length. Documentation may include an owner's manual, materials from an auto research website, or similar reference material that clearly lists the relevant vehicle specifications. Vehicles from 14' to under 22' in length shall pay the 14' to under 22' toll. Motorcycles towing a trailer and vehicles licensed as motorcycles with three or more wheels that are 8'0" or longer shall pay the appropriate length-based vehicle fare. Motorcycles include both mopeds and motorcycles as defined by RCW 46.04.304 and 46.04.330. Both are considered vehicles for the purposes of vehicle registration, license plate display, and WSF fare determination.

²MULTIRIDE MEDIA - Shall be valid only for 90 days from date of purchase after which time the media shall not be accepted for passage. Remaining value will not be eligible for refund or exchange. There shall be no commercial resale of this fare media. For mail order deliveries, WSF may add additional days to allow for delivery time. The vehicle/driver multiride card may be used for passage for an attendant driver plus one disabled passenger. Multi-ride media provides a 20% discount off of the full fare for all routes except for Ana-cortes to Lopez, Shaw, Orcas, or Friday Harbor. For Anacortes to Lopez, Shaw, Orcas, or Friday Harbor, multiride media provides a 25% discount off the full fare. For all routes, the multiride media prices listed above also include an additional 1% discount, expiring on September 30, 2025.

³INTER-ISLAND FARES - Tolls collected westbound only. Vehicles traveling between islands may request a single transfer ticket good for one transfer at an intermediate island. The transfer may only be obtained when purchasing the appropriate vehicle fare for inter-island travel (westbound at Lopez, Shaw, or Orcas) and is free of charge. Transfers shall be valid until the end of the service day on the day of purchase.

⁴SENIOR CITIZENS - Passengers age 65 and over, with proper identification establishing proof of age, may travel at half-fare passenger tolls on any route where passenger fares are collected, which will be rounded down to the nearest multiple of $0.05. The half-fare discount applies to the driver portion of the vehicle-driver fare. The vehicle portion of the vehicle-driver fare is never further discounted.

PEOPLE WITH DISABILITIES - Any person who has a physical or mental impairment that substantially limits one or more major life activity, upon presentation of a WSF Disability Travel Permit, Reduced Fare Permit, or other identification which establishes a disability, may travel at half-fare passenger tolls on any route where passenger fares are collected, which will be rounded down to the nearest multiple of $0.05. The half-fare discount applies to driver portion of the vehicle-driver fare. The vehicle portion of the vehicle-driver fare is never discounted. In addition, people with disabilities who require attendant care while traveling on the ferries, and are so certified by their physician, may obtain an endorsement on their WSF Disability Travel Permit and such endorsement shall allow the attendant to travel free.

⁵ROUND TRIP - Round trip passage for international travel available for trips beginning or ending on one of the islands served.

⁶VEHICLE RESERVATION DEPOSIT - Nonrefundable deposits for advance vehicle reservations may be established at a level of from 25 to 100 percent of the applicable 14' to under 22' standard vehicle one way fare. This is a deposit toward the fare and not an additional fee and applies only to those routes where the legislature has approved the use of a reservation system. Where it is operationally necessary (routes where vehicle fares are collected in only one direction or to increase operational efficiency at the terminal) a reservation no-show fee may be used in lieu of a deposit. The no-show fee will be limited to 25 to 100 percent of the applicable one way 14' to under 22' standard vehicle fare and will be charged if the customer does not travel within the same service day as their reserved sailing, provided there are no service disruptions.

⁷CAPITAL SURCHARGE - Included is a $0.50 capital surcharge on each single vehicle/driver fare collected. On all multiride cards except for routes serving Vashon Island and the San Juan Islands, there is an included capital surcharge of $10.00. For Vashon Island routes, the included capital surcharge is $5.00 on multiride cards. For motorcycles in the San Juan Islands, the included capital surcharge on multiride cards is $5.00. For vehicles under 22' in the San Juan Islands, the included capital surcharge on multiride cards is $2.50.

RIDE SHARE VEHICLES - A commuter ride share vehicle which carries three or more persons on a regular and expense-sharing basis for the purpose of travel to and from work or school and which is certified as such by a local organization approved by the Washington state ferry system, may purchase for a $20 fee, a permit valid for one year valid only during the hours shown on the permit. The $20.00 fee shall include the driver. Remaining passengers shall pay the applicable passenger fare. Except that the minimum total paid for all passengers in the van shall not be less than two times the applicable passenger fare. Car-pools of three or more registered in WSF's preferential loading program must also pay a $20.00 yearly permit fee.

STOWAGE - Stowage carry-on items including kayaks, canoes and other items of comparable size which are typically stowed on the vehicle deck of the vessel shall be charged at the motorcycle rate. This rate includes the walk-on passenger carrying on the item to be stowed.

PEAK SEASON SURCHARGE - A 25% surcharge shall be applied to vehicles from May 1 through September 30 except those using multiride media. A 35% surcharge shall be applied on vehicle fares from Anacortes to Lopez, Shaw, Orcas and Friday Harbor, except those using multiride media. The resulting fare is rounded to the nearest $0.05 if required.

FIRE DEPARTMENT AND FIRE DISTRICT FARE CONSIDERATION - At the discretion of the WSF Assistant Secretary, WSF may authorize no-fare or discounted fare passage on scheduled and/or special ferry sailings for fire departments and fire districts that provide contracted fire protection services for WSF ferry terminals and/or other WSF facilities within their jurisdiction. Such passage shall be considered full and complete consideration for such fire protection services, in lieu of annual payments for such services, to be so noted in such fire protection agreements. The scope of such authorization includes designated fire department and fire district vehicles (see below), drivers and passengers en route to and from an emergency call, on ferry routes with a WSF terminal and/or other WSF facility served by a fire department or fire district pursuant to a WSF fire protection service agreement. Authorized vehicles may include public fire department and fire district medical aid units, fire trucks, incident command and/or other vehicles dispatched to and returning from an emergency call.

IN-NEED ORGANIZATIONS - For qualified organizations serving in-need clients by providing tickets for transportation on WSF at no cost to clients, program would offer a monthly discount to approximate appropriate multiride media discount rates. Appointing bodies (those that appoint Ferry Advisory Committees) will nominate to the Washington State Transportation Commission those organizations that meet the criteria of the program. The Commission will review such nominations and certify those organizations that qualify. The following criteria will be used for nominating and certifying in-need organizations: Nongovernmental and not-for-profit organizations whose primary purpose is one or more of the following: Help clients with medical issues; provide clients with low-income social services; help clients suffering from domestic violence; provide clients with employment-seeking services; and/or help clients with Social Security. Travel will be initially charged based on full fare and billed monthly. The credits will be approximate based on the discount rates offered to multiride media users applicable on the date of travel.

PENALTY CHARGES - Owner of vehicle without driver will be assessed a $100.00 penalty charge.

PROMOTIONAL TOLLS - A promotional rate may be established at the discretion of the WSF Assistant Secretary, Executive Director for a specified discount in order to enhance total revenue and effective only at designated times on designated routes. A promotional fare product may also be established to support tourism or other special events. The promotional fare or product may be bundled and sold as part of a multiparty promotional program.

GROUP OR VOLUME SALES - In order to increase total revenues, WSF may develop full fare or discounted customer packages or bundle single fare types into multiride media or offer passes for high volume or group users. In pricing these packages, WSF will have discretion to set appropriate volume discounts based on a case-by-case basis.

SPECIAL EVENTS - In order to increase total revenues, WSF may develop, create or participate in special events that may include, but not be limited to, contributing or packaging discounted fares in exchange for the opportunity to participate in the income generated by the event.

BUNDLED SINGLE FARE MEDIA - WSF may bundle single fare types into multiple trip books as a customer convenience. Remaining value will not be eligible for refund or exchange. For mail order deliveries, WSF may add additional days to allow for delivery time.

GOOD TO GO! PILOT - Special ferry toll rate(s) may be established for a pilot program of Good to Go! or similar fare collection infrastructure, technology, or ORCA replacement system on any ferry route. Washington State Ferries Assistant Secretary shall design the program and submit a proposed program and fare schedule to the Washington State Transportation Commission. The Commission shall review, modify and approve the proposed fare schedule and fare policies before it is implemented. Once implemented, WSF shall provide, at a minimum, updates to the Commission every six months on the pilot. The pilot will conclude no longer than three years from its implementation.
