Main Street Terminal renovations
The Main Street Terminal Refurbishment Project involves repairing and replacing the terminal’s aging infrastructure to bring the site into compliance with current seismic safety requirements. It is a major construction project that also includes Improvements such as bridge and foundation replacement, gangway replacement, float demolition and replacement, and electrical and water utility upgrades.
The project also includes design elements to facilitate future electrification of the terminal for zero-emission ferry vessels. Upon completion of the project, passengers will see direct benefits like more efficient ferry operations and modernized terminal lighting.
The project is being funded with Federal Transit Administration (FTA) grants and Alameda County transportation sales tax revenues through Measure B/BB.
