The Larkspur Ferry Service and Parking Expansion Project

The Larkspur Ferry Service and Parking Expansion Project

The Golden Gate Bridge, Highway, and Transportation District (District) operates regional ferry service from the Larkspur Ferry Terminal, in the city of Larkspur, providing a transit alternative for residents to travel from Sonoma and Marin counties to downtown San Francisco, Mission Bay, and the Oracle Park and Chase Arena, with operations for all three ferry routes based at the Larkspur Ferry Terminal. The District is the lead agency for the environmental review of the Larkspur Ferry Service and Parking Expansion Project (Project). The Larkspur Ferry Terminal is located on Sir Francis Drake Boulevard in the city of Larkspur. The ferry terminal is also located on San Francisco Bay. The Project will serve the ferry’s foreseeable 21st Century needs. This includes increasing capacity by adding more high-speed boats, potentially creating a new ferry route to the foot of 16th Street near San Francisco’s booming Mission Bay and UC San Francisco medical center, and expanding Larkspur Ferry Terminal parking on the main terminal parking lot and/or the north parking lot located in the Country Mart shopping center across Sir Francis Drake Boulevard. The project will include measures to accommodate ridership that arrives via modes other than single-occupant vehicle (Transportation Demand Management). Such measures may include shuttle buses, parking and ticket pricing strategies, and enhanced bicycle and pedestrian facilities. The project will also include improvements to the connection between the ferry terminal and the Sonoma-Marin Area Rail Transit (SMART) system’s Larkspur station
