Fare Policy Proposal |
Fare Policy Proposal - Public Comment Form
Kitsap Transit (KT) is proposing changes to its Fare Policy that would go into effect on Oct. 1, 2024. The changes include the following:
- Increasing one-way cash fares and monthly passes for the Cross-Sound Passenger-Only Ferry (POF) service
- Eliminating the Bus/Ferry Pass and offering Cross-Sound POF passholders fare-free rides on Kitsap Transit Local Foot Ferry, Routed, ACCESS and On-Demand/Dial-A-Ride services for the month their pass is valid
- Raising parking fees at Kitsap Transit’s Annapolis Ferry Terminal and parking fines at all lots
- Delegating authority to Kitsap Transit's Executive Director to set Special Rates of fare for marketing purposes
In addition, on Oct. 1, 2025, Kitsap Transit would implement another increase to one-way cash fares and monthly passes for the Cross-Sound Passenger-Only Ferry (POF) service. For a complete list of changes, see our Fare Policy Proposal webpage.
Also prior to the 2025 fare increase on the Cross-Sound POF, Kitsap Transit will study the usage of transfers on this service, the revenue impact on the Ferry Fund, and the potential feasibility and impact of eliminating transfer credits on the Cross-Sound POF.
The proposed fare increases for the Cross-Sound POF – the first since the service launched in 2017 – are in response to recent, ongoing inflationary conditions and growing urgency to preserve the long-term sustainability of the Marine Services fleet and facilities.
