Ocracoke vendors will need ferry Priority Passes for each vehicle in 2025
Under a new state law, vendors serving Ocracoke Island who want priority loading on the N.C. Ferry System’s the Hatteras-Ocracoke route will be required to purchase individual priority passes for each vehicle.
In the past, multiple vehicles from the same vendor could share a single pass.
The change comes under legislation passed by the General Assembly in its 2024 session.
The price for each vendor priority pass is $150, and applications are available on the Ferry Division website.
Resident priority passes remain free for permanent Ocracoke residents.
