The ridership growth can be attributed to a greater awareness and utilization of JTA services.

The popular St. Johns River Ferry, which transports guests between Mayport Village and Ft. George Island, will expand its operational hours beginning November 1.

Funded, in part, by a Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) grant, the Ferry will run from 6:00 a.m. to 8:45 p.m., extending two hours during the week and one hour during the weekend.
