Hello friends and neighbors,
I hope you enjoyed your holidays and are ready for the new year.
I’m writing to share an update ahead of the 2024 legislative session in Olympia.
Thank you to everyone who took a few minutes to participate in the transportation survey in the last e-news. More than 220 of you responded and provided feedback. It’s obvious neighbors across Kitsap are frustrated with WSF and the unacceptable state of our ferries.
Hearing your concerns and suggestions is the key first step towards better policy.
This legislative session in Olympia, I’ll be working to:
- Invest in a 21st century ferry fleet to reduce fuel costs and boost reliability
- Recruit and train a 21st century ferry workforce
- Demand increased transparency and accountability from WSF and state leadership
I need your help to make this roadmap happen. Please take a few moments to read my Kitsap Sun editorial A Roadmap to Fix our Ferries that digs into each policy and shares how you can help.
My core point is that we need you and your voice to bring change to WSF. Please follow our Facebook page www.facebook.com/RepGregNance and comment on my recent post to share how ferry disruptions have impacted you and your family. (Facebook is also a good way to stay updated and provide ongoing suggestions). You can always email our office too: Greg.Nance@leg.wa.gov.
My job as State Rep is to amplify your voice in Olympia; this is how we drive better policy and real change. Together, we’ll fix our ferries.
Wishing you and your family all the best for 2024.
Greg
