What is the Emergency Water Transportation System Management Plan?

Per SB 1093 , WETA is mandated to create and adopt an Emergency Water Transportation System Management Plan (EWTSMP) for the San Francisco Bay Area. The plan was approved and adopted by the WETA Board of Directors at its June 18 meeting.

The EWTSMP complements and reinforces other transportation emergency plans that will enable the Bay Area to restore mobility after a regional disaster. The Plan sets a framework for coordination of response and recovery efforts using passenger ferries and provides a detailed definition of WETA's roles and responsibilities for incident planning, response and recovery, and restoration of normal operations.
