In addition to broad community engagement through public meetings, websites and other tools, WSF has established a task force to provide advice and recommendations on sailing schedule changes. The task force is an advisory group charged with examining current sailings schedules, reviewing options developed by WSF and making recommendations. The task force will help WSF prioritize changes and review impacts to WSF customers and residents of San Juan County.
In order to complete this charge, the task force has met and will continue to meet at key milestones (virtually or in person), or review information by email, to identify and prioritize areas of focus and recommend improvements for WSF consideration. Task force members represent their community and provide input on community engagement opportunities and how to ensure public comment is reflected in the schedule development process.
