This report provides a comprehensive and critical review of the two key functional components of ferry systems--vessels and terminals--operating in the U.S. and Canada. It is intended primarily to be used as an informational and planning document by urban transportation planners considering waterborne transport as an alternative passenger mode. Both conventional and advanced technology high speed vessels are examined. Transportation engineering and pedestrian facility planning techniques are utilized in recommending efficient terminal design and operations.
