There is no charge for disabled parking customers displaying a valid disabled parking placard or license plate. There are 10 ADA spaces available in this lot. It’s important to note that when all of the ADA spaces are filled in the WSF lot that customers are allowed to park in any empty space for free with their ADA placard, except those spaces reserved for other uses (e.g., carpool and Ferry System employee vehicles).

Bicyclists may bypass the line of traffic. All Vashon-bound bicyclists must stop at the vehicle tollbooth. Fauntleroy-bound bicyclists may continue down to the front of the dock (there is no payment for passengers or bicycles traveling from Southworth to Fauntleroy), bypassing the booth.

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. Riders should walk their bikes on and off the ferry to avoid injuring passengers. There is one rack that holds 8 bikes.
