All fares rounded to the nearest multiple of $0.05.
*These routes operate as a one-point toll collection system
				with round trip tolls.
1OVERSIZE VEHICLES - Includes all
				vehicles 22 feet in length and longer regardless of type: Commercial trucks,
				recreational vehicles, vehicles under 22' pulling trailers, etc. Length shall
				include vehicle and load to its furthest extension. Overheight charge is
				included in oversize vehicle toll. Vehicles wider than 8'6" pay double the fare
				applicable to their length. Private and commercial passenger buses or other
				passenger vehicles pay the applicable oversize vehicle tolls. Public transit
				buses and drivers shall travel free upon display of an annual permit which may
				be purchased for $10. Upon presentation by either the driver or passenger of a
				WSF Disability Travel Permit, Regional Reduced Fare Permit, or other
				identification which establishes disability, vehicles 22-30 feet in length and
				7'2" or over in height shall be charged the 22-30 foot length and under 7'2" in
				height fare for vehicles equipped with wheelchair lift or other feature
				designed to accommodate the person with the disability.
2TRANSFERS - Tolls collected
				westbound only. Oversize vehicles traveling westbound from Anacortes may
				receive a single intermediate transfer when first purchasing the fare for the
				furthest intended point of travel for the trip. The transfer is valid until the
				end of the service day on the day purchased.
3INTER-ISLAND - 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.
4ROUND TRIP - Round trip passage for
				international travel available for trips beginning or ending on one of the
				islands served.
5CAPITAL SURCHARGE - There is
				included an additional $0.50 capital surcharge on each single vehicle/driver
				fare collected.
BULK NEWSPAPERS - Per 100 lbs. $2.85 (Shipments exceeding
				60,000 lbs. in any month shall be assessed $1.42 per 100 lbs.). Daily
				newspapers, in bundles, to be received and delivered without receipt and
				subject to owner's risk, will be transported between ferry terminals on regular
				scheduled sailings.
VEHICLE RESERVATION DEPOSIT - Nonrefundable deposits for
				advanced reservations may be established at a level of from 25 to 100 percent
				of the applicable oversize 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 oversize 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.
PEAK SEASON SURCHARGE - A peak season surcharge shall apply to
				all oversize vehicles from May 1 through September 30. The oversize fare shall
				be determined based on the peak-season car-and-driver fare and the analogous
				oversize vehicle fare, calculated with the same factor as the oversize base
				seasons fares are to the base season under 20 foot fare. The senior citizen
				discount shall apply to the driver of an oversize vehicle. The resulting fare
				is rounded to the nearest $0.05 if required.
SENIOR CITIZEN DISCOUNTS - Discounts of 50% for the driver of
				the above vehicles shall apply. Senior citizen discount is determined by
				subtracting full-fare passenger rate and adding half-fare passenger rate, which
				will be rounded down to the nearest multiple of $0.05. The senior citizen
				discount shall apply to the driver of an oversize vehicle.
PENALTY CHARGES - Owner of vehicle without driver will be
				assessed a $100.00 penalty charge.
COMMERCIAL ACCOUNTS - Commercial customers making 12 or more,
				one-way crossings per week (Sunday through Saturday) will qualify for a 10%
				discount from the regular ferry tolls. WSF will provide a commercial account
				program that will be prepaid and offer access to volume discounts based on
				travel, revenue or other criteria in accordance with WSF business rules. On an
				annual basis, commercial accounts will pay a $50 nonrefundable account
				maintenance fee.
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 multiple trip books 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.
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.
EMERGENCY TRIPS DURING NONSERVICE HOURS - While at locations
				where crew is on duty charge shall be equal to the cost of fuel consumed to
				make emergency trip. Such trips shall only be offered as a result of official
				requests from an emergency services agency and only in the case of no
				reasonable alternative.
DISCLAIMER - Under no circumstances does Washington state
				ferries warrant the availability of ferry service at a given date or time; nor
				does it warrant the availability of space on board a vessel on a given
				sailing.
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.
