Vallejo Ferry Schedule Adjustments Due to Low Tides, Shuttles to Run from Mare IslandSource: Kiddo27, CC BY-SA 4.0, via Wikimedia Commons

Commuters using the Vallejo ferry must adjust their schedules as low tides hit next week, altering the usual docking routines. A special schedule will take effect from Monday, April 28, through Thursday, May 1. The San Francisco Bay Ferry announced that some trips will not be able to serve the Vallejo Ferry Terminal and will instead operate from Mare Island during this period. Free shuttle buses will be provided for passengers traveling to and from the affected Vallejo trips to facilitate transportation.

Riders who typically board at the Vallejo Terminal in the morning will be rerouted to catch a shuttle bus approximately 15 minutes before the Mare Island ferry departure. Similarly, several afternoon and evening ferry trips will only dock at Mare Island, with corresponding shuttles ready to transfer passengers back to Vallejo shortly after arrival. Riding the ferry regularly will cause Vallejo residents to see their daily commutes temporarily disrupted by the forces of nature.

For those who park at the Vallejo Ferry Terminal, a free shuttle service to Mare Island is available, reflecting the agency's diligence to minimize inconvenience during these low-tide events. Parking remains limited and free at Mare Island on a first-come, first-served basis, contrasting Mare Island's option with Vallejo Ferry Terminal's paid parking across the street.
