The San Francisco Bay Area Water Emergency Transportation Authority (WETA) was awarded a $7,856,138 Formula Grant from the U.S. Department of Transportation's Federal Transit Administration (FTA) on September 12, 2024. The grant funding supports the design, preliminary engineering, environmental work, and planning phases for the Vallejo Ferry Terminal Reconfiguration Project. This project will replace the existing ferry float structures from 1998 with a new configuration that extends the terminal into deeper waters to reduce sedimentation and dredging needs. The final design plans and environmental clearance will enable WETA to avoid future dredging expenses estimated at up to $21 million over 20 years. Additionally, the new terminal design will facilitate future electrification of ferry operations to support zero-emission vessel technology. This grant award is funded through the Highway Planning and Construction (CFDA 20.205) program, which provides federal assistance for a range of transportation infrastructure initiatives.
