Automobile Decaling (on-site): All privately owned vehicles
operated on and parked on-base must be registered with and be eligible for a
Department of Defense decal issued by the Naval Base Kitsap - Bremerton Pass and
ID Office. Current requirements are: proof of car insurance which fulfills
Washington State guidelines, a valid military or civilian base ID card, a
current state drivers license and the current registration on the
vehicle.
In past years, vehicle parking has been the number one challenge
onboard the Bremerton complex, but with the 1997 opening of a seven level
parking garage (1900+ spaces), an adjacent five acre paved lot (730+
spaces) and acquistion of a waterfront parking lot (E7 and above) for Forces
Afloat personnel only has reduced this problem. Designated civilian employee
lots are clearly designated. The Shipyard Public Works Department provides bus
service routed throughout the base complex regularly before and after working
hours to all parking lots on base.
