Planning a ferry trip? See how busy it will be.

Pick any date and time for a busyness estimate, when to arrive, and a full-day trendline.

Driving onto the ferry?

The overhead signs at SR 104 and Barber Cutoff Rd flash when Kingston's boarding-pass system is on. If they are flashing, follow the signs into the ferry lane. Take a pass from the machine near Lindvog Rd. Then wait for a green light before you drive up to the toll booths.

The pass system runs every day from 8 am to 8 pm in the busy summer season, and on weekends and holidays. You do not need a pass if you are walking on, riding a bike, or riding a motorcycle.
