Transit covers roads, tracks, and bodies of water. Ferry service is a major player in transportation systems in cities like San Francisco, CA, Seattle, WA, and Vancouver, BC. It's also a crucial connection for smaller locations, like Daufuskie Island, SC with a year-round population of approximately 400 people.
How can ferry service best serve your community? Find guidance for evaluating ferry capacity, operations and quality of service as a viable form of public transit. Passenger numbers may be regulated by the U.S. Coast Guard. Dwell times might have to consider the loading and unloading of both passengers and their personal vehicles. Sea conditions and tidal effects on water levels can drastically impact schedule reliability. Learn more about balancing these factors effectively and efficiently in TRB's Transit Cooperative Research Program's updated TCRP Research Report 262: Transit Capacity and Quality of Service Manual, 4th edition.
