Ocracoke Vendors to Need Ferry Priority Passes for Each Vehicle in 2025

HATTERAS – Under a new state law, vendors serving Ocracoke Island who want priority loading on the N.C. Ferry System will need 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.
