A Strategy to Improve Public Transit with an Environmentally Friendly Ferry System A Strategy to Improve Public Transit with an Environmentally Friendly Ferry System Final Implementation & Operations Plan July 2003 San Francisco Bay Area Water Transit Authority Dear Governor Davis and Members of the California Legislature: After two years of work, the San Francisco Bay Area Water Transit Finally, as the Final Program Environmental Impact Report (FEIR) Authority (WTA) is delivering an Implementation and Operations details, this system is environmentally responsible. Plan. It is a viable strategy to improve Bay Area public transit with an environmentally friendly ferry system. It is a well- From beginning to end, this plan is built on solid, conservative thought-out plan calling for a sensible transportation investment. technical data and financial assumptions. If the State of California It shows how the existing and new individual ferry routes can adopts this plan and it is funded, we can begin making expanded form a well-integrated water-transit system that provides good water transit a reality. connections to other transit. The current economy makes it tough to find funds for new When you enacted Senate Bill 428 in October 1999, the WTA programs, even those as worthy as expanded Bay Area water was formed and empowered to create a plan for new and expanded transit. The Authority understands the economic challenges it water transit services and related ground transportation faces and is already working hard to overcome that hurdle. terminal access services. It was further mandated that the Today, the Authority’s future is unclear, pending your consideration. Authority must study ridership demand, cost-effectiveness But the prospects for expanded Bay Area water transit — and and expanded water transit’s environmental impact. From that the benefits it can bring to the region — are clear. mandate, we determined that the Authority’s mission is to build We are grateful to the Metropolitan Transportation Commission, and operate a cost-effective, convenient and environmentally the U.S. Coast Guard, local and county elected officials throughout responsible ferry system that will enhance commuter choices the Bay Area and concerned citizens, like the members of Bluewater and the Bay Area’s public-transit system.

  • Final Program Environmental Impact Report
    Executive Summary Final Program Environmental Impact Report Expansion of Ferry Transit Service in the San Francisco Bay Area Prepared by: URS Corporation June 2003 Prepared for: Executive Summary ES.1 INTRODUCTION This document is a Program Environmental Impact Report (EIR) addressing the San Francisco Water Transit Authority’s (WTA) Proposed Project to implement expanded ferry service in the Bay Area. The WTA began operation as a new regional agency in 2000, with the directive of evaluating options to improve and expand Bay Area ferry service and to report back to the California Legislature with a recommended plan of action. As a result, the preparation of WTA’s Implementation and Operations Plan (IOP) initiated a wide range of studies, consultation, and public outreach that provided input to the decision-making process of developing the plan. From August 2002 through January 2003, the WTA circulated a Draft Program EIR for public review and comment. That EIR did not identify a proposed project or preferred alternative; rather, it addressed a range of alternatives for expanding ferry service in the Bay Area. In March 2003, the WTA recirculated the Draft EIR in order to include analysis of the IOP Alternative, which is now identified as the Proposed Project, in accordance with CEQA Guidelines. ES.2 PURPOSE AND OBJECTIVES/NEED ES.2.1 Purpose and Objectives The primary purpose of the WTA system IOP is to increase Bay Area regional mobility and transportation options by providing new and expanded water transit services and related ground transportation terminal access in the Bay Area. ES.2.2 Need The Bay Area is home to a highly diverse population and historically strong economy that is served by a complex transportation network.

  • The Stepped Hull Hybrid Hydrofoil
    The Stepped Hull Hybrid Hydrofoil Christopher D. Barry, Bryan Duffty Planing @brid hydrofoils or partially hydrofoil supported planing boat are hydrofoils that intentionally operate in what would be the takeoff condition for a norma[ hydrofoil. They ofler a compromise ofperformance and cost that might be appropriate for ferq missions. The stepped hybrid configuration has made appearances in the high speed boat scene as early as 1938. It is a solution to the problems of instability and inefficiency that has limited other type of hybrids. It can be configured to have good seakeeping as well, but the concept has not been used as widely as would be justified by its merits. The purpose of this paper is to reintroduce this concept to the marine community, particularly for small, fast ferries. We have performed analytic studies, simple model experiments and manned experiments, andfiom them have determined some specljic problems and issues for the practical implementation of this concept. This paper presents background information, discusses key concepts including resistance, stability, seakeeping, and propulsion and suggests solutions to what we believe are the problems that have limited the widespread acceptance of this concept. Finally we propose a “strawman” design for a ferry in a particular service using this technology. BACKGROUND Partially hydrofoil supported planing hulls mix hydrofoil support and planing lift. The most obvious A hybrid hydrofoil is a vehicle combining the version of this concept is a planing hull with a dynamic lift of hydrofoils with a significant amount of hydrofoil more or less under the center of gravity. lit? tiom some other source, generally either buoyancy Karafiath (1974) studied this concept and ran model or planing lift.
