Why does WSF need to adjust the Mukilteo/Clinton schedule?■ The existing sailing schedule was designed for two 124-car Issaquah
class ferries.■ In June 2014, the 144-car Tokitae joined the Mukilteo/Clinton route with
the 124-car Kittitas.■ The larger Tokitae has trouble keeping to its schedule in the afternoons year
round, but the problem is worst in the summer when the route is busiest.■ On-time performance on the route has gone down, and there is a rise in
passengers missing afternoon Clinton transit connections.■ WSF is proposing to adjust afternoon departure times to allow more time
for vessels to load and unload and improve reliability.
Operational challenges ■ There are operational
challenges at both terminals, but particularly in Mukilteo
■ The new Mukilteo terminal will address many of these issues
Aged Dock
Poor Transit Connections
Congestion
Passengers Must Load on Car Deck
ADA and Pedestrian/Car Conflicts
Poor Transit Connections(2,000 ft. from terminal)
Does Not Meet Current Seismic Standards
No Separation of Terminal From Public Areas
Mukilteo terminal deficiencies

Six-month pilot scheduleIn Fall 2017, we will evaluate the new Mukilteo/Clinton schedule based on:
■ Loading and offloading duration: WSF will collect loading and offloading times at each terminal and assess trends.
■ On-time performance: WSF will compare summer 2016 and summer 2017 on-time performance data.
■ Customer feedback: WSF will track customer feedback related to the new schedule.
