1. Buy only one (two max) more 64-car ferries & begin construction of 144-car ferries series asap. 2. Act to reduce projected costs of 64-car ferry and 144-car ferry contracts.     3. Defer Mukilteo construction, use that money to build 144-car ferries.     4. Insist on major ferry system cost reduction by cutting consultants & staff and by implementing all the other cost savings ideas developed by Plan C and by the crews.  Reinvest all the saved money in the ferry system. 5. Do not waste any money on a reservation system now. Send WSF back to the drawing board, insist that WSF consult with communities its recommending for a reservation system. That $45 million not spent on a reservation system now could go towards building a 144-car ferry. 6. Please support a Ferry Community Advisory Council. Ferry fares are the highest state toll and should just as the Tacoma Narrows Bridge have a tolling advisory group to evaluate fare costs and drive savings. What follows is the list of the Senators and House Representatives on the Transportation Committees with their e-mail addresses and phone numbers.   Now is the time for all citizens to come to the aid of their ferries.
