will no longer allow large electric scooters on the Fast Ferry to Bremerton and will limit how many smaller scooters will be allowed on board.

Bhatt goes on to say that they could have banned e-scooters altogether, however, their solution was to allow for some scooters by limiting “the size of the e-scooters to 43 inches when folded.”“[Kitsap Transit] is doing this because space under the tables in the cabin isn’t just for electric scooters,” Bhatt said. “It’s also for Americans with Disabilities Act devices, strollers, luggage, and what we are trying to do here is balance the needs for all of our riders.

Riders will need to plan ahead, he says it will be “just like when you go to the airport and you are going to board the plane with a carry-on and they ask you to place your bag in one of the size-testing boxes, Fast Ferry will have a testing scooter sizer to determine whether or not the scooter is small enough to board.”
