Welcome aboard, kids! Ferry rides are free for those 18 and under
Those 18 and under can ride a state ferry for free.
The new perk for youth is part of the Legislature’s Move Ahead Washington transportation package approved in March that launched free bus rides a month ago for those age 18 and younger.
Nearly 1.5 million youth passenger tickets were sold in 2021.
Rides, free until age 6, were half the price of the adult fare, but still enough to cause some fudging by the responsible adult who had already spent enough on those 6th birthday gifts and thought the kid could pass for 5, especially in the back seat of a car.
