The Ocracoke Access Alliance (OAA) has formed to push for greater state and federal investment in ferry services, NC-12, and other critical infrastructure that ensures safe and reliable access.

In announcing the new coalition, Justin LeBlanc, OAA’s Executive Director said, “The North Carolina Ferry System is the second-largest public ferry system in the United States.

The coalition is preparing a sustained advocacy effort targeting both Raleigh and Washington, DC.
