On November 21, 2002, the Mineta Transportation Institute and The Commonwealth Club of California sponsored a forum on expanding ferry service in the Bay Area. A primary goal of the forum was to explore water transit service as a way to ease congestion on the roads. The forum explored the costs involved, what lines would be given priority, the number of ferries to be deployed, the infrastructure required, and environmental concerns. As the San Francisco Bay Area Water Transit Authority is seeking to expand ferry service for the Bay Area, the evening enabled interested citizens to hear more about the proposal, ask questions, and share their hopes and concerns. This publication is an edited version of the November 21 forum. |
