Multi-Ride Punchcards
There are three ways to purchase multi-ride ferry punch cards:
- monthly punch card sale at the Lummi Island Ferry office
- online with a credit card
- with a personal or company check via USPS mail
The ferry calendar reflects when our in-person monthly sales will be held. You can also sign up to receive updates via email and text. Islanders should not visit the Civic Center to purchase ferry tickets as they are not sold in person at the Bellingham office.
In-Person Punch Card Sales
In-person ferry punch card sales are typically held on the first Wednesday of every month from 5:20 a.m. to 2:40 p.m. at the ferry office (island-side ferry terminal). All types of ferry punch cards are sold during these sales, including those for current needs-based customers. Payments may be made by check, valid US money order, or credit card. No cash accepted.
