NC Ferries Get Tolls Starting Jan 1 | Virginia Beach News
Description
Starting January 1, North Carolina’s coastal ferry routes — including Knotts Island and Hatteras-Ocracoke — will begin charging tolls, part of a new state budget signed by Governor Stein. Locals may get a reprieve with a $150 annual commuter pass for active military and residents of coastal counties. But not everyone’s happy: State Senator Bobby Hanig voted no on the original budget over the tolls, and Rep. Ed Goodwin called the Knotts Island ferry “essential,” warning of a financial burden on residents. NCDOT is holding public listening sessions in early September to gather feedback before the tolls go into effect.
