San Francisco Bay Ferry has installed 20 new electronic bicycle lockers at the Alameda Main Street Ferry Terminal. These new lockers are available for anyone to use on a first come, first served basis. The cost to park a bike will be 5 cents per hour, and the maximum time allowed to park a bike is 10 days. The new, shared-use electronic bicycle lockers will use the BikeLink system, which is commonly seen throughout the Bay Area and at BART stations. BikeLink allows bicyclists to park their bicycles in a secure, on-demand bicycle locker using a BikeLink card. In Alameda, there are already shared-use lockers using the BikeLink system, at the Civic Center Garage (1442 Oak St), the Harbor Bay Ferry Terminal, and at Alameda Landing.
BikeLink cards can be purchased online, or in retail establishments. In Alameda, you can purchase BikeLink cards at Alameda Bicycle (1522 Park Street). The cards are also sold at the Ferry Building, at Bay Crossings (Stall #22). For more information about BikeLink, please visit their website: http://www.bikelink.org/.
The project is funded by the Water Emergency Transportation Authority and the Bay Area Air Quality Management District, Transportation Fund for Clean Air (TFCA).
