CHEBEAGUE TRANSPORTATION COMPANY News from CTC!

CTC to Implement Winter Boarding Procedure! With passenger counts low, temperatures dropping and inclement weather a common thing for the next few months, CTC will im plement a winter boarding procedure effective immediately.

2022 In Review!

Winter Office Hours Monday - Thursday 9am - 4pm Friday 9am - 12:30pm

ing opportunities that are available to non-profits like us. We anticipate this help ing to allow us to continue to invest for the future in our buses, boats and parking lots while keeping our fares as affordable as possible. While the final numbers are not in yet, 2022 will end up being CTC’s strongest opera tional revenue year to date! This was driven by a contin uing increase in ridership, which projects to be up 8% over 2021 along with fare increases on our ten ride fer ry tickets and increase in certain parking fees . Unfortunately, this great revenue year was offset by one of the most expensive years on record as well. With fuel and labor costs rising, both for CTC and our ven dors, repairs and mainte nance, fuel and salaries and wages costs worked together to create a negative cash flow year for CTC. We are working to explore new reve nue streams and as always, try to keep costs as low as possible get back to a posi tive cashflow year in 2023. Happy New Year!

This past year was a busy one! Passenger counts on our ferry approached pre - pandemic levels, barging stayed very busy all summer and our parking lots were full but manageable this summer. Like many busi nesses, we continued to struggle a little with staffing and have felt just a little short handed. Despite this, thanks to the dedication of our employees, we have had almost no schedule disrup tions. On top of our normal opera tions, CTC undertook a few projects in 2022. We imple mented a new, digital ticket ing system that will greatly improve our ticketing during the busiest times of the year. It also helps us make sure we capture a fare from every passenger who rides the fer ry. We worked with the Town and the dredge con tractor at the beginning of the year to ensure our conti nuity of operations while the dredging project was under way. We were ecstatic when we finally were able to safely run at all tides again! CTC also engaged a development consultant in 2022 who has been working with us to ex plore grants and other fund

Business Office: (207) 846-5227/846-3700 16 North Road, PO Box 27 Chebeague Island, ME 04017 chebeaguetrans@gmail.com www.ctcferry.org A note on our boarding times… We implemented a boarding time during the pandemic to give our crews time to clean the boats and to minimize contact between passengers. This boarding time came with the added benefit of allowing time for the crew to conduct train ings, complete routine mainte nance tasks and step off the boat to use the bathroom (our crews need to do this to!). Our operation was highly scrutinized during the pandem ic with the USCG providing the most oversite for our industry. They requested updates to operational changes through out the pandemic. When we let them know that we restricted passenger access to our vessels to only when the crew was there, they let us know in no uncertain terms that we were to do this all the time. Passen gers may not access the vessel if it is not fully staffed in ac cordance to it Certificate of Inspection (COI). Because of this, and in order to give passengers a clear and reasonable expectation of when they can walk on the boat, we continue to board passengers beginning 10 minutes prior to departure. Thanks for your under standing and cooperation!

Passengers should wait on the pier for instructions to board from the crew. Boarding on the Chebeague side will begin 10 minutes prior to departure time. Tickets must be purchased online or from our office, in advance of getting to the fer ry. Deckhands will collect fares once the ferry is under way.

The lower passenger counts allow us to do this until we get busy again. Starting May 26th, we will go back to collecting tickets on the pier, prior to boarding.
