Chebeague Transportation Company September 2024

The Disappearing Islander – It’s No Mystery! For about a week in mid-August, keen observers aboard the Independence may have noticed that the Islander was missing. And for a good reason. CTC chartered her to provide transportation for the Navy and the Coast Guard during the Maine Lobster Festival in Rockland! The charters allow us to utilize our entire fleet effectively -- and provide an opportunity for capturing these amazing photos. Most importantly, the charters generate extra revenue to help sustain our operations.

Beginning 9/3, Monday through Friday CTC runs a 7:05am/7:20 and 2:50pm/3:05pm trip for teachers and students (Other passengers are welcome as well!) for the school year. Because of the agreement with Yarmouth that allows us to run these extra trips, the CTC bus does not meet these trips to allow access for the Yarmouth school bus and we are not allowed to publish them on our schedule. Over the years the school trips have changed, but doing homework while on the ferry is still a rite of passage for island students. CTC buses also provide after-school pickup for island students. The school trips run during school vacations. The School Department is responsible for issuing student passes for the ferry. Students must remain seated and inside the main cabin when the ferry is docking or underway. If parents are traveling for school purposes, please sign the school charge sheet on the ferry. The school sets policy on who may use this charge sheet - please refer questions to the CISD. School friends may use resident tickets when visiting.
