How do you get to the campus from Vallejo?
Drivers can use the university’s directions link and Google Maps to plan their route to Mare Island. The university identifies nearby I-80 as one way to reach San Francisco from Vallejo; it also points to the Vallejo Ferry Terminal for the trip across the water.
The ferry terminal is just across the water from campus. The Vallejo–San Francisco ferry runs year-round and takes approximately 60 minutes between Vallejo and San Francisco. San Francisco Bay Ferry places its Vallejo terminal at 289 Mare Island Way. SolTrans routes connect at the terminal or at the Vallejo Transit Center, two blocks away.
If you’re bringing a bicycle, the ferry operator says bikes are accepted aboard on a space-available basis. Bike lockers are at the Vallejo Transit Center, a five-minute walk from the ferry terminal. For time in the city center, a guide to Vallejo City Center can help you plan that part of your visit.
