Service Alternative Taskforce Survey to Identify Residents’ Needs |
Introduction: As part of the Lummi Island Ferry Replacement and System Modernization project, construction of the Lummi Island terminal will occur in two phases:
- Phase 1, beginning July 2027, will include construction of a new passenger-only floating dock and replacement of some in-water structures. Regular car-ferry service will continue during this period.
- Phase 2, beginning in July 2028, will include an estimated 12-week vehicle service outage from July to October 2028.
Purpose of this survey: The Service Alternatives Taskforce (SAT) is trying to identify the most important off-island services islanders will need during the 12-week car ferry outage. The survey includes a maximum of 46 questions. Please fill out one survey per household. The survey will be open until 9:00am Monday, December 7, 2026. Providing your name is completely optional and will only be used to ask follow-up questions. Because SAT is a subcommittee of Whatcom County Ferry Advisory Committee (WCFAC), survey data is subject to the Public Records Act. SAT treats responses as confidential as possible to the extent permitted by law.
