LAND TRANSPORTATION & PARKING

(This info is from 2024.  We will update with any changes) Tips from George Peake, the Transportation Manager for the Town of Ocean City about his bus service:

“Using our bus system:

• Due to major residential developments surrounding our north bus station parking is VERY limited in the area
• Public Parking at 100^th Street near the library fills up fast
• Convention Center parking is free, and we will be focusing on transporting people from these lots until they are full
• The Coastal Highway bus service runs 6AM to 3AM next day; on a daily basis
• We are running a shuttle service from/to Park “N’ Ride in west OC and it has free parking.  This shuttle will operate during the hours of 6AM to 1AM next day during the concerts
• Many will use the outlet mall parking as an overflow
• We will be selling bus tickets, including multi-day tickets at the Park ‘N’ Ride facility
• For Oceans Calling I have 165 bus deployments scheduled during the three day event; and for Country’s Calling, (a two day event), 100″
