CHEBEAGUE TRANSPORTATION COMPANY What’s New at CTC? A Reminder on Some CTC Policies Weekday Worker Passes at Cousins are valid Monday - Friday from 6 AM to 7PM only. Passes are not valid on weekends except for local lobstermen. Workers with this pass who use the Cousins Lot on weekends are subject to availability and a $20 daily fee. The Town of Yarmouth has 15 designated spaces at the Cousins Island Lot - per the 2008 agreement between Yarmouth and Chebeague. Ten passes are annual parking permits issued by lottery by the Town of Yarmouth. The other five passes are daily passes issued on a first come - first serve basis. Day Passes are for same day or next day return only. Multiple passes to extend the visit for several days are not allowed. Day passes are not valid at the Cousins Island lot. We would like to remind our customers of CTC policies regarding transporting commercial freight on the ferry.  Freight should be delivered by the 12:15 PM ferry  Freight should not be delivered by dual wheel vehicles  Customers who are not on the ferry must notify CTC of the deliv- ery in advance  All unaccompanied freight must display customer’s name  Freight must be picked up at the ferry directly after the boat re- turns to Chebeague  Freight fees must be paid upon delivery to Chebeague. Daily parking at Cousins Island is based on availability. CTC needs to reserve five day spaces for Yarmouth residents. Beyond that, access to the lot is purely on a first come - first serve basis. Overnight parking at the Cousins Island lot is allowed only for persons holding a regular annual parking permit. CTC management reserves the right to make exceptions as it deems appropriate. COMMERCIAL FREIGHT POLICIES

Congestion on the Wharf at Cousins Island Summer months are busy on the Island, and especially busy on the Cousins Island wharf as CTC buses and other vehicles load and unload passengers and freight for the ferry. By Town of Yarmouth ordinance, vehicular traffic on the wharf is prohibited from Friday afternoon to Monday morning during the sum- mer. CTC has ordered more carts and is keeping a supply at the Cousins lot for our customers’ use in transporting freight. If you are walking to the lot and there are many carts on the wharf, please take one to the lot with you. Here are some other suggestions to help:  Wait for passengers in the CTC parking lot.  If possible, drop passengers in the parking lot instead of on the wharf.  Don’t drive down to the wharf to leave freight if you can carry it from the parking lot.  Don’t back up the hill. Turn around at the bottom.
