The Bolivar Community asks Texans for Help with Ferry Priority Boarding Pass Applications

The Galveston - Port Bolivar ferry is the bridge between the Bolivar Peninsula and Galveston Island. The ferry service provided by the Texas Department of Transportation (TXDOT) is the only way motorists can cross the waterway.

The ferry service is critical to the residents of the Bolivar Peninsula when a hurricane threatens. The ferries are the primary means of evacuation through Galveston to the causeway and the mainland. Ferries continue crossing the channel until high winds and tides make their mission unsafe.

Priority Boarding will grant unlimited access to the new lane if a minimum of 500 priority-boarding applications are received, but there is a 50$ application fee to the Texas Department of Transportation (TXDOT) to apply.

The Bolivar Peninsula Chamber of Commerce and Crown Team Texas will pay the 50$ application fee for anyone who is eligible, which is anyone with a Texas drivers license.

The additional lane and ferry that will be included with the priority boarding pass program will significantly help the Bolivar Peninsula community. The Bolivar community asks for all Texans to consider applying for the pass. Since the application fee will be paid for by our leading developer, what we are asking for is a moment of your time. Please consider helping our community, you have our many thanks - The Bolivar Chamber of Commerce.
