Transportation Program Build and Enhance Transit Systems
FlyTahoe, America’s first electric flying ferry, will halve travel times for the 20,000 daily drivers between North and South Tahoe. By providing a cleaner, faster alternative to driving, our silent cross-lake service not only reduces traffic congestion and automobile dependency but also eliminates emissions and road sediment, preserving Lake Tahoe’s clarity while better linking Tahoe’s communities. See it in action at flytahoe.com. With 10x operational efficiency gains from electric hydrofoils, we're unlocking profitability while making flying across Lake Tahoe cheaper than driving around it. By flying above the waves with no wake, FlyTahoe causes no seasickness or shoreline erosion.
