• Abstract:
  This report summarizes work performed in earlier phases of this project to prepare for implementation of a County-operated passenger-only ferry service and documents the demonstration of three technology-based passenger ferry traveler information initiatives. The first two phases produced a policy study for County-operated passenger ferry service and a business and implementation plan for introduction of the service. The final phase evaluated opportunities for introducing technology to improve ferry traveler information, selected the most promising and feasible three technology options, and demonstrated and evaluated the three technology initiatives.
