Bicycle boarding
There is no payment for passengers or bicycles traveling from Bremerton to Seattle. Bicyclists may bypass the line of vehicle traffic to get onto the ferry dock. A rider does not need to stop at the tollbooth traveling eastbound. Bicyclists should arrive 20 minutes prior to departure time to be loaded at the beginning of loading process. If a bicyclist arrives after vehicle loading has begun, they will be loaded at the end of the load. There are five racks at the terminal which hold 28 bikes.
Motorcycle boarding
While motorcycles are not, by Washington Administrative Code (WAC 468-300-700), a preferential loading category of users, they are often loaded prior to automobiles for operational and staging purposes. Arrival at the dock after vehicle load has commenced requires motorcycles to wait until all cars have been loaded for the next motorcycle loading opportunity. Motorcycles should proceed, while on the dock, at no more than 10 mph. Use caution when car decks are wet. The following information details specific staging for this terminal: Motorcycle Fare Purchase/Redemption Purchase tickets at the auto tollbooths, at the kiosk inside the terminal waiting room, or online in advance. Motorcycle Entry/Staging Queue with automobiles prior to tollbooth. Sales and fare collection occur at tollbooth main window, no transactions through back window. Staging varies by time of day and slip in use, ask the ticket sellers or traffic attendants where to stage. Motorcycle Loading Loading order: Bicycles, motorcycles, vehicles, late arriving motorcycles as space permits. During commute hours, a motorcycle mid-load may occur. Motorcycle Special Communication For motorcycles arriving after vehicle load concludes, space availability will determine ability to board sailing.
