Ultimately the System Electrification Plan calls for delivering 16 new Olympic class, hybrid-electric vessels by 2040. New hybrid-electric Olympic class vessels The plan was delivered to the legislature in January 2021. We developed a System Electrification Plan (PDF 4MB) that expands on the 2040 Long Range Plan (PDF 11.4MB) to evaluate alternatives and propose an efficient strategy for using hybrid-electric vessels throughout the system. To date, WSF has been awarded grants to support the conversion project including funds from the nationwide federal Volkswagen settlement ($35M), a Congestion Mitigation and Air Quality Improvement grant ($6.5M), and a Marine Highway Project Designation and grant award of $1.5M. WSDOT and WSF are pursuing a number of funding opportunities at the federal, state and local levels to advance the electrification program for both vessels and terminals. These ferries are approaching the end of their service lives and must be replaced with newer vessels in the coming years. Over half of our fleet, 11 of 21 vessels, are more than 30 years old. Even with four new ferries the new vessel construction program has not kept up with the needs of our aging fleet. Since 2014, WSF has built four new 144-car Olympic-class ferries and added them to the fleet. These goals were captured in the System Electrification Plan (PDF 4MB) in Dec. One of the key recommendations is to move toward a “greener” ferry fleet with the goal of a reliable fleet that has a lighter footprint on the environment and outperforms carbon dioxide reduction targets. Our 2040 Long Range Plan (PDF 11.4MB), which was delivered to the Legislature in January 2019, recommends short-, medium- and long-term actions for WSF to pursue and focuses on a set of investments and service enhancements to be implemented over 20 years.
