Washington State Ferries (WSF) provides a critical state highway across Puget Sound, with 20 terminals in Western Washington utilizing 29 vessels, more than 25 million passengers and 11 million vehicles are carried each year, see Figure 1. It is the largest ferry operator in North America. With several capital replacement projects planned for the near future, WSF decided to reevaluate how it transitioned between fixed structure and floating vessel. This became paramount after an accident in 2001, when, presumably, a cable failed, dropping both the bridge (transfer span) and its operator into the water.
