Tell State Patrol what you think

The State Patrol is asking for comments regarding the quality of their public safety services for state ferries. Surveys are available at all ferry terminals and can be dropped off as you leave the boat.

Or take the survey on the Internet at wsp.wa.gov/ comunity/_survey/ vatsurvey.htm.

The survey ends Sunday. Participants will be asked questions about their frequency of ferry travel and about different enforcement-related aspects at the ferry terminal.

Corrections
