Ferry Lawsuit

A lawsuit filed by a group called the Washington Communication Access Project is aimed at making Washington State Ferries become more hearing loss friendly. The nonprofit group filed the suit in Kitsap County, across the Puget Sound from Seattle. The group claims the Ferries failure to provide translations of audio messages is a violation of the Washington Law Against Discrimination. Reader boards and video monitors have already been installed at some of the ferries' stops and on some of the ferries themselves.
