The air is turning cooler and the kids are back in school, and that means it’s time for the N.C. Department of Transportation’s Swan Quarter-Ocracoke and Cedar Island-Ocracoke ferry routes to make their annual transitions to off-season schedules.

Starting Tuesday, the new schedules are as follows:

Cedar Island – Ocracoke

  • Cedar Island to Ocracoke:7:30 a.m., 10:30 a.m. and 4:30 p.m.
  • Ocracoke to Cedar Island: 7:30 a.m., 1 p.m. and 4:30 p.m.

Swan Quarter – Ocracoke

  • Swan Quarter to Ocracoke:10 a.m., 1:30 p.m. and 4:30 p.m.
  • Ocracoke to Swan Quarter: 7 a.m., 10 a.m. and 1:30 p.m.

All three routes will remain on these schedules through the end of the year.
