Water Transit in Redwood City by 2024? As early as 3 years away!

The Water Emergency Transportation Authority, is the transit agency responsible for ferry service. A recent article in The Daily Journal covered the potential future transit option.

WETA is currently working with Redwood City and the Redwood City Board of Port Commissioners on a possible site and ferry service within the port at the eastern end of Seaport Boulevard. The proposed ferry service would connect Redwood City to San Francisco and/or Oakland. A feasibility study accepted by the Redwood City Council found ferry service is feasible based on ridership demand, infrastructure requirements, financial capability and public benefit.

Another article, the prospect of a Redwood City ferry service seems positive at this point: “Assuming funding for each step in the process and best-case delivery times, ferry service could start as early as 2024,” city staff said.
