Get North Carolina Ferry Schedule Updates On Your Phone
Taking a ferry in North Carolina? Now you can get information about your trip delivered right to your phone, courtesy of a new notification system developed by the North Carolina Department of Transportation.
The Ferry Information Notification System, or FINS, lets ferry riders select the route they want to receive alerts for. Users can also choose whether to receive those alerts via text or email. Once signed up, travelers will receive information on delays, cancellations and other necessary information. The alerts will come directly from the ferry terminals, according to a release from the N.C. Department of Transportation.
“This is going to be a major benefit for our passengers,” Ferry Division Director Harold Thomas told Spectrum News. “Getting timely information on schedule interruptions will allow ferry riders to make informed decisions on when and where to travel.”
Many vacationers use the North Carolina ferry system to access the state’s beautiful Outer Banks, but when you’re counting on a ferry, you want to have all the latest information. Some ferry routes can take more than two hours. That means only a limited number of trips per day. It’s definitely not a time when you want to miss the boat!
