  • Staff Report
    THIS PRINT COVERS CALENDAR ITEM NO. : 10.3 SAN FRANCISCO MUNICIPAL TRANSPORTATION AGENCY DIVISION: Finance and Information Technology BRIEF DESCRIPTION: Approving a revised inter-agency transfer discount fare between the San Francisco Municipal Transportation Agency (SFMTA) and the Water Emergency Transportation Authority (WETA), which operates the Alameda/Oakland and Alameda Harbor Bay ferry services, and provide for the transfer discount fare to Clipper® card customers only. SUMMARY: Pursuant to Metropolitan Transportation Commission (MTC) Resolution No. 3866, the MTC is mandated by Section 66516 of the California Government Code to promote the coordination of fares between transit agencies within its jurisdiction. The SFMTA is committed to updating and equalizing all existing inter-agency transfer agreements for customers transferring to the Municipal Railway from other Bay Area transit agencies, and introducing reciprocal transfer discounts for Muni customers transferring to other transit agencies. WETA and the SFMTA desire to increase the transfer of customers between systems, thereby improving the quality of transit service and encouraging transit use. In 2000, the SFMTA entered into a formal transfer agreement with the City of Alameda, the former operator of the ferry services, intended to facilitate the transfer of customers and encourage transit use which included a free two-part roundtrip ticket for transferring to Muni service ($4.00 value) for Alameda/Oakland and Alameda Harbor Bay ferry customers. The SFMTA and WETA are proposing to modify the current transfer arrangement by reducing the amount of the transfer discount to $1.00 per round trip with each agency providing a $0.50 discount off their respective adult cash fare, and making this transfer discount available only to Clipper® card customers.

  • 2.0 Alternatives Considered
    2.0 ALTERNATIVES CONSIDERED To implement new ferry service between the San Francisco Ferry Building and the Berkeley/ Albany waterfront, WETA would construct a ferry terminal and associated waterside and landside facilities for berthing ferry boats and to provide access for ferry patrons. Four potential ferry terminal site alternatives in Berkeley and Albany have been identified (Figure 2-1): • Alternative A: located at the Berkeley Marina, adjacent to the Hornblower dock • Alternative B: located between the landside end of the Berkeley Fishing Pier and Hs Lordships Restaurant • Alternative C: located immediately north of the foot of Gilman Street adjacent to the Golden Gate Fields horse stables • Alternative D: located on the old pier site at the foot of Buchanan Street adjacent to Golden Gate Fields Sites A through C are located in the City of Berkeley, and Site D is located in the City of Albany. Sites A through D represent the proposed project alternatives or “action” alternatives. A description of the physical characteristics, site plans, construction activities, and costs for the ferry terminal alternatives as well as the ferry operating plans are presented below. In addition, in accordance with NEPA and CEQA guidelines, the EIS/EIR describes the No-Action Alternative that would occur if the ferry terminal project were not implemented. The No-Action Alternative includes the existing transportation network within the study area and funded transportation improvements. It serves as a baseline of comparison for analyzing impacts generated with and without the project. 2.1 NO-ACTION ALTERNATIVE The No-Action Alternative is a base scenario for comparison with the Action Alternatives.
