BHI Transportation's
New Electronic Ticketing and Reservation System
Information Sessions Hosted by BHA:
Friday, May 26, 10:00am and
Tuesday, May 30, 2:30pm
In February 2022, the North Carolina Utilities Commission (NCUC) issued an order regarding baggage that adopted several processes to move the ferry system toward the implementation of electronic ticketing and reservations. That order was made effective as of April 1, 2022, but with the arrival of the summer season, BHI Transportation postponed enforcement of the order at that time. BHI Transportation plans to enforce the order and launch a new electronic ticketing and reservation system in early June 2023.
At the request of BHI Transportation, BHA will be hosting two, on-Island information sessions at the Association Center (111 Lighthouse Wynd) for property owners, contractors and the general public to learn more about the new ticketing and
reservation system. The sessions are scheduled for Friday, May 26, at 10:00am and Tuesday, May 30, at 2:30pm. BHA will host both of these in-person and live Zoom information sessions, with recordings available on BHA's YouTube channel within 24 hours after each event. Click the buttons below to register and attend the Zoom webinar.
