Presentation

Short-distance ferry service electrification under CARB regulations

Prop is establishing a flexible and scalable private ferry service that operates throughout the San Francisco Bay Area and beyond, with a fleet of innovative vessels, strategically engineered to facilitate large service areas. In 2022, PropSF began a new passenger ferry service between San Francisco and Treasure Island. By January 2026, the service will be required by the California Air Resources Board (CARB) to use 100% zero-emission vessels. This presentation will discuss the challenges and opportunities that the regulations present, and how PropSF works to address challenges and maximize the opportunities.
