29214 Federal Register / Vol. 87, No. 92 / Thursday, May 12, 2022 / Notices 

WSF at Southworth, and Kitsap Transit 

is working with WSF to make facility 

improvements to expand docking 

facilities. However, all three Kitsap 

Transit routes share two slips with the 

two King County Metro routes at Pier 50 

on the Seattle waterfront (Kitsap 

Transit’s fourth landing location). Pier 

50’s designed operating capacity is 

insufficient for five distinct routes, 

serviced by six operating vessels, 

arriving 20 times during both the 

morning and afternoon commute 

periods. 

Kitsap Transit is the secondary user at 

Pier 50 and must fit their service 

schedule around King County Metro’s 

schedule. Hence, the driving factor in 

Kitsap Transit’s service schedule is 

docking availability. This means that 

landing times are limited to available 

docking windows rather than customer 

preferences for arrival and departure 

times. With 12 landings in the peak 

commute ridership periods (5 a.m. to 9 

a.m. and 3 p.m. to 7 p.m.), Kitsap 

Transit’s current schedule fully utilizes 

the docking times not reserved for King 

County Metro. Although there are a few 

remaining dock openings during the 

commute window, they cannot be 

accommodated within Kitsap Transit 

vessel headways and dwell times. 

Additional challenges to maintaining 

service schedules occur when Kitsap 

Transit and King County Metro vessels 

experience inevitable transit delays due 

to weather conditions such as fog or 

marine traffic that lead to cascading 

departure delays and service 

disruptions that cannot be mitigated 

with two landing slips. 

Kitsap Transit must stay within their 

docking windows in Seattle so as not to 

disrupt King County Metro’s schedule. 

To maintain docking windows, Kitsap 

Transit routinely has to travel at higher 

than planned speeds to maintain the 

Seattle arrival and departure schedule. 

At these higher speeds, Kitsap Transit 

consumes more fuel leading to higher 

carbon emissions and increased 

operating costs from higher fuel 

expense. Higher-speed operations also 

place greater loads on vessel engines 

and other vessel systems leading to 

increased maintenance costs. 

Kitsap Transit temporarily operated 

their Bremerton-Seattle route from a 

leased private dock at Pier 54. The lease 

could not be renewed, forcing Kitsap 

Transit to consolidate all three routes 

with King County Metro’s two routes at 

Pier 50 beginning May 2, 2022. With 

five routes and six vessels operating 

from two slips, the risk of arrival and 

departure delays and higher operating 

costs will increase. 

Next Steps 

Following early scoping, FTA and 

Kitsap Transit will use the comments 

received from early scoping to help 

identify and narrow the range of Project 

location alternatives for further 

evaluation in a combined NEPA/SEPA 

environmental document. If the 

resulting range of alternatives involves 

the potential for significant 

environmental impacts requiring an 

environmental impact statement (EIS), 

FTA will publish a Notice of Intent to 

Prepare an EIS in the Federal Register, 

and Kitsap Transit will publish a 

Determination of Significance/Scoping 

Notice. Tribes, agencies, and the public 

will be invited to comment on the scope 

of the EIS at that time.
