The Currituck County Board of Commissioners is requesting that the North Carolina Department of Transportation delay the implementation of ferry tolls scheduled to start on January 1, 2027, WAVY reported.

State law requires all ferries in North Carolina to begin charging tolls starting in 2027, but some local officials and residents oppose the tolls or want the start date pushed back.

Earlier in October, the ferry division recommended toll amounts for passengers, prompting the county board's appeal to reconsider the timing.

The issue is significant for residents and travelers in Currituck County and nearby areas, including Elizabeth City, as ferry services are a key transportation link.

Officials and community members are continuing to discuss the impact of tolls and possible alternatives ahead of the mandated start date.
