An Act To Establish Lifetime Ferry Passes For Retired Maine State Ferry Service Employees

LD 280 establishes lifetime ferry passes for retired Maine State Ferry Service employees. The bill provides eligible retired workers with a pass granting two round-trip ferry passages per month for themselves and their vehicle, plus a waiver of reservation fees. To use the pass, retirees must provide the Maine State Ferry Service with at least 24 hours' notice of each planned trip. This benefit applies exclusively to ferries operated by the Maine State Ferry Service. The legislation directly affects retired ferry employees who qualify under the definition in Title 5, section 17001, subsection 40.
