The new highways needed to take large amounts of traffic off H-1 already exist and are ready to use.

Panos did a study on this in 2008 and John Bond made a detailed report in 2010 on the 50+ years of highly efficient, low cost accident free Pearl Harbor vehicle ferries. Everyone loved them and loved riding them. They never impeded the US Navy operations in the harbor during WW-II, Korea and Vietnam eras.

Washington State has all of the American made ferry technologies, history and experience of running ocean highways. Pearl Harbor is a calm lake where Washington has rugged weather and large tidal variances. They have figured out everything and have successfully done it for many decades.

Our proposals for bringing back the totally proven Pearl Harbor ferries was politically blocked by Dan Inouye and Mufi Hannemann because they clearly saw it was a major threat as a cheap, low cost alternative to the now 4-500 Million a mile rail con job. I was called in 2010 and told to "shut up."
