Ferry Toll Issue...Again!

The North Carolina Department of Transportation will hold four public meetings about proposed toll changes on its ferry routes.  Times and dates are posted here:  https://apps.ncdot.gov/NewsReleases/details.aspx?r=9270.

In 2013 the General Assembly passed SB402 which laid out a process by which new ferries will be purchased. Under the legislation the Department of Transportation must lay out a system-wide tolling methodology, and conduct public hearings in affected communities by March 1. More information is available here: http://www.ncdot.gov/download/transit/ferry/Proposed_Ferry_Toll_Rates.pdf.
