Department of Transportation oversees a robust system of highways, as well as aviation, rail, transit, ferries, and bike and pedestrian facilities that provide important connections to jobs, education, healthcare and recreation. AVIATION. With 72 publicly owned and operated airports and more than 330 privately owned airports, heliports and other landing areas, aviation is a vital part of the state's economy. More than 70 million passengers fly to and from North Carolina each year. Commercial and general aviation airports generate more than $61 billion annually and provide more than 373,000 jobs. BICYCLE AND PEDESTRIAN. North Carolina has an extensive system of more than 5,000 miles of cross-state, regional, and local mapped and signed bicycle routes along lightly traveled scenic roads. FERRY. The North Carolina Ferry System was established in 1947 with a single route linking the North Carolina mainland with Roanoke Island on the Outer Banks. Today, it is the second- largest state-run ferry system in the nation, with 22 boats serving seven routes on five bodies of water across eastern North Carolina. The ferry system is an extension of the state's highway system and serves visitors and residents as they travel to work, school or unforgettable vacations along the coast. For more information, call 1-800-BY-FERRY (293- 3779) or visit ncferry.org NC BY TRAIN. NC By Train is a convenient travel option with service eight times daily to Charlotte, Kannapolis, Salisbury, High Point, Greensboro, Burlington, Durham, Cary and Raleigh. It also serves the northeast. Passengers on Piedmont trains can request a Transit Pass and present it when boarding a participating transit system’s bus to help reach their final destination. For schedules and ticket information, call 1-800-BYTRAIN (298- 7246) or visit ncbytrain.org TRANSIT. Transit systems provide mobility for citizens without a vehicle and those who prefer to let someone else do the driving. At work in all 100 counties, public transportation provides access to employment, education, medical services, shopping and recreational activities. HIGHWAYS AND BYWAYS. With about 80,000 miles of highway. North Carolina has one of the largest state- maintained highway systems in the nation. Along these miles are 61 designated scenic byways that give visitors and residents alternates to the faster-paced highways and interstates. The Scenic Byways Program provides travelers the opportunity to slow down and see the diverse beauty the Tar Heel State has to offer— from the peaks of the Appalachian Mountains to the fertile hills of the Piedmont, and the marshes and sounds in the Coastal Plain. For more information about NCDOT and its programs, visit ncdot.gov. WILDFLOWER PROGRAM AND POLLINATOR HABITATS. The N.C. Department of Transportation Wildflower Program began in 1985 to help enhance our state's natural beauty for citizens and visitors. More than 1,500 acres of wildflower beds— annuals, perennials and N.C. native wildflowers— enhance our roadsides. These wildflowers also serve as sources of nectar for pollinator species such as bees, hummingbirds, butterflies and moths, while providing habitats for these dwindling populations. The program is funded through sales of personalized license plates and donations. DRONES. Drone use is increasingly popular. The Federal Aviation Administration has established several guidelines to help ensure a fun and safe experience when using your drone: • Always fly below an altitude of 400 feet and fly within your direct line of sight; • Do not fly within five miles of an airport, near stadiums or other public events, or near anyone who isn't with you; • Do not fly a drone that weighs more than 55 pounds; • Do not fly at night, even if your drone is equipped with lights; and • Take lessons before flying. You need to register your aircraft if it weighs between 0.55 lbs. (250 grams) and up to 55 lbs. (25 kg) by visiting registermyuas.faa.gov TOLL ROADS. All toll roads in North Carolina use all- electronic tolling technology, so there are no toll booths or delays. Customers either receive a bill by mail or have the toll deducted from their NC Quick Pass account. An NC Quick Pass transponder is the most convenient way to pay. It saves drivers 35 percent on NC toll roads. SunPass, Peach Pass and E-Z Pass are also accepted. For more information, visit ncquickpass.com REAL ID. The federal REAL ID Act requires states to issue identification that meets higher federal security standards. North Carolina's REAL ID meets these standards. Beginning May 3, 2023, travelers will have to provide additional identification to board a commercial flight or visit federal facilities unless they have a REAL ID or U.S. Passport. The required identification may vary. For more information on REAL ID, including the requirements, visit ncrealid.gov BOARD OF TRANSPORTATION Michael S. Fox, Chairman Andrew M.
