"Since we launched the water shuttle service over 1.5 years ago, we've found both operational efficiencies and new funding resulting in an 84% increase in weekly departures, from 187 to 345 trips, and we've seen increases in our average daily ridership."
"The 19 months is how long we think there will be an impact to Alameda from the OAAP. In 2027 we expect the Posey Tube to be reduced to a single lane, so having Woodstock in place is very important."
Woodstock, a free water shuttle connecting Oakland's Jack London Square and Alameda's Bohol Immigrant Circle, launched in July 2024 with two-year funding. Alameda recently announced securing funding for at least 19 additional months of service. Since launch, operational efficiencies and new funding sources enabled an 84% increase in weekly departures from 187 to 345 trips, with rising average daily ridership. The continued funding depends on the Oakland-Alameda Access Project timeline, with the Posey Tube expected to reduce to single-lane operation in 2027. A seasonal service adjustment begins March 10, expanding evening service.
