|  | Kitsap County's transportation infrastructure provides ready access to a number of modes of transport to serve individuals and business.
Public/Commuter Services
Kitsap residents can easily reside in one community and work in another without having to deal with long, frustating commutes by using the well-connected highway system that traverses the county. Washington State Ferries, as well as private ferry businesses, provide a range of ferry services to Seattle from Kingston, Bainbridge Island, Bremerton, and Port Orchard. The Bremerton-Kitsap Airporter runs daily shuttles to and from SeaTac airport.
Certain individuals who lack access to reliable transportation can take advantage of two special transit services offered in the county. Kitsap Access, part of Kitsap Transit, offers shuttle services to the elderly and people with special needs. Paratransit Services, a private, non-profit organization, offers transit services to individuals receiving Medicaid services.
Commercial & Industry Services
Kitsap County is connected to major shipping routes via land, sea, and air. Accessible local highways give businesses fast access to Tacoma, Seattle, and interstate trucking routes. Commercial vehicles, with some restrictions, are also welcome aboard Washington State ferries.
Shipping lanes throughout Puget Sound were designed to accommodate the largest Naval ships and are also used frequently for commercial shipping and transportation. A number of marinas and boat yards in the county can accommodate large, commercial ships and boats.
Bremerton National Airport is minutes away from almost every location in the county and SeaTac International Airport can be reached in an hour or less by road or ferry.
