Transportation Commission seeks public input on potential ferry fuel surcharge
Posted November 28, 2022 at 1:34 pm by Jeff Arnim
The Washington State Transportation Commission has posted a survey asking for public input about a possible fuel surcharge by Washington State Ferries to temporarily address fuel costs that exceed the agency’s budget.
“While the WSTC has never implemented the fuel surcharge, recent rises in fuel costs have increased the likelihood that the surcharge may be needed,” the Commission explains. “Under current regulation the surcharge could be activated upon Commission approval. If activated, the surcharge would be added to the current ferry fare and could be in an amount from 2.5 percent to 10 percent of the fare, depending on the funding gap the surcharge is addressing.”
