It is time to create separate public ferry transit agencies to replace the Washington State Ferry system

In 1952 the Washington State government bought the Washington State Ferry system when state rescued the state ferry system from a company that was failing know as Black Ball Transit.  Now for the past 60 years the state has owned the ferry system sometimes at a loss.  Recently they decided to discontinue the direct route from Seattle to Kingston.  This will add time to a customer going directly from Kingston to Seattle.  We could ask Kitsap and San Juan Counties to take over the ferry system create a separate public agencies know as Kitsap and San Juan Ferries or can sell each route separately.  Create a separate regional ferry authority known as Puget Sound Ferry Authority.
