OUR Transition to Zero-Emission Ferries
Over the past decade, ferries have become an essential component of the Bay Area’s increasingly congested transportation network. In response to growing demand, WETA has secured funding and environmental approvals for an ambitious expansion plan. This includes new terminals at strategic locations like Treasure Island, Mission Bay, Berkeley, Redwood City, the South Bay, and the Carquinez Strait.
- Advancing plans to grow sustainably, and with an eye toward reducing greenhouse gas emissions.
- WETA aims to convert 50% of its ferry fleet to zero emissions by 2035, demonstrating a strong commitment to environmental sustainability.
- Significant funding is allocated for building shoreside charging infrastructure essential for supporting a robust, high-frequency ferry system.
