 We are thrilled to announce that we will be testing out expanded service starting on July 8, including operating six days a week with the addition of Tuesdays! The new schedule will be in place for at least four months and longer if it's successful and we have adequate funding. The changes include:
-
New Tuesday service! Tuesday will have the same schedule as Wednesday and Thursday, which will not change from what it is today.
-
Expanded Friday, Saturday and Sunday service! More trips and longer operating hours.
- 63 trips per day - a 26% increase
- 15 hours of service - 7:20 am to 10:30pm
- Shorter breaks in service
-
Same morning departures across six days!
- The first 9 departures of every day will be at the same time
We hope this 35% increase in weekly departures and the other enhancements will lure in new riders and encourage all of our existing riders to use Woodstock more often!
We're again looking for 10 outgoing and enthusiastic people to walk, bike or scooter with us in the Woodstock contingent in Alameda's July 4th parade! You'll get one of our coveted water shuttle T-shirts (as seen in the photo below) to wear while you hand out postcards and giveaways. We'll also have signs to carry or hang on bikes.
You'll need to line up at 9am in eastern Alameda, and be ready to walk/ride/scooter the full 3.3 miles, starting at 10am. We'll have music to make it fun! Interested? Fill out our suggestion form with your name and email address by Monday, July 1. Please let us know if you can carry a banner. Email Sarah Henry with any questions.
