Vendors wanting priority loading on the state-run ferry traveling between Hatteras and Ocracoke Island will need to purchase individual priority passes for each vehicle.
The General Assembly passed a new law during the 2024 session that now requires each vendor vehicle traveling between Hatteras and Ocracoke to have a priority pass. Previously, multiple vehicles from the same vendor could share a single pass.

Cost is $150 per pass. Applications are available on the Ferry Division website.
Permanent residents of Ocracoke Island are eligible for a free priority pass to place on the driver-side windshield. Applicants must apply in person at the Ocracoke Silver Lake Terminal, 130 Pilot Town Circle. A valid driver license and a vehicle registration card that both have an Ocracoke address are required.
