San Francisco Bay Ferry<\/strong> name.<\/p>\n\n\n\n2017 saw two expansions for the Vallejo Ferry. First, WETA increased weekday Vallejo ferry service to 14 southbound trips and 13 northbound trips. Second, they launched service to and from Mare Island.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Alameda & Oakland<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Following the 1989 Loma Prieta Earthquake, resulting in the partial collapse of the Bay Bridge, emergency ferry service was enacted between Jack London Square in Oakland, Main Street Terminal in Alameda and the San Francisco Ferry Building.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
However, due to the service’s popularity, the Alameda\/Oakland Ferry<\/strong> route remained in operation after the repair and reopening of the Bay Bridge. The service was managed by the City of Alameda and operated by Red & White Fleet. Subsidies from local governments and Caltrans provided funding for the service so it could remain in operation.<\/p>\n\n\n\nIn March 1992, a new ferry route was added in Alameda, the Alameda Harbor Bay Ferry<\/strong>. It began connecting the Harbor Bay Ferry terminal on Bay Farm Island in Alameda and the San Francisco Ferry Building in downtown San Francisco.<\/p>\n\n\n\nThe popularity of these ferry services is what directly led to the creation of WETA in 2007. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
In May 2011, WETA assumed ownership of the Alameda\/Oakland Ferry service. Then, in January 2012, they took ownership of the Harbor Bay Ferry service. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
On June 4th, 2012 the South San Francisco ferry route between Oakland Ferry Terminal and South San Francisco Ferry terminal launched. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Alameda Seaplane Ferry began service on July 1, 2021. It connects the Alameda Seaplane Lagoon Ferry terminal on the southern shore of Alameda Island with the San Francisco Ferry Building in downtown San Francisco.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Richmond<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
San Francisco approved funding and planning for Richmond Ferry<\/strong> service in 2015. Weekday commuter service for this route began on January 10, 2019. However, service was suspended in March 2020 due to the Coronavirus pandemic and shelter-in-place orders for the San Francisco Bay Area. Service resumed in June 2020.<\/p>\n\n\n\nFuture plans for San Francisco Bay Ferry<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
A new ferry landing at 16th street in Mission Bay is scheduled to open in 2024. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
New ferry service from Berkeley and Redwood City to San Francisco is planned by WETA. They hope to expand service from Antioch, Hercules, Martinez and Treasure Island, as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
With expansion comes the need for more vessels. As a result, WETA projects a total of 57 vessels to be in service by 2035. That’s 44 more vessels than are currently in operation.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
