WSDOT sets level of service (LOS) standards for state highways and ferry routes of statewide significance (HSS) based on RCW 47.06.140(2). Regional transportation planning organizations (RTPOs) and WSDOT jointly develop and RTPOs establish LOS standards for regionally significant state highways and ferry routes (non-HSS) based on RCW 47.80.030(1)(c). Level of service standard for ferry routes is based on the Washington State Department of Transportation Ferries Divison Final Long Range Plan (Published June 30, 2009). The plan outlines two levels of LOS standards by route and season. In general, standards are higher in the summer months to reflect additional recreational ridership on all routes. Standards are higher on recreational routes to reflect an increased feasibility of spreading ridership to under-utilized sailings. The two standards outlined by the plan are: Standard 1 serves as an indicator of when WSF might consider more targeted, route-specific strategies to alleviate congestion and spread demand to other sailings where capacity exists. This standard should not be viewed as a minimum criterion to be achieved before adaptive management strategies are deployed (i.e. strategies that have systemwide benefits should be considered no matter what a route's performance against the LOS standard is.) Standard 2 serves as as an indicator that identifies when existing assets are being used most effectively and WSF might begin considering additional investment. This data set is used as a reference layer for geographic information systems at the Washington State Department of Transportation and is intended to be used for general planning purposes. This layer is not intended for navigational purposes. |
