a $7.5 million in annual travel savings

a $1.8 million in general economic benefits

Kitsap Transit’s proposed sales tax can only be spent on ferry service. If voters approve the tax, funding for Kitsap Transit’s existing foot ferries would be shifted to this new source of revenue.

That would free up about $1.5 million for bus service.

That would buy more than 23,000 hours of service annually.
