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.

Emergency Management

Our emergency management protocols include comprehensive planning, regular drills, and coordination with local authorities. These measures ensure that ferry services remain reliable and efficient even in crisis situations, ensuring the well-being of our passengers and the community.
