Bolivar Community Asks

The Bolivar Peninsula Chamber of Commerce
and Crown Team Texas offer to pay the
priority-boarding program application fee for
the Bolivar-Galveston Ferry.

Port Bolivar, TX (PRWEB)
August 22, 2007 -- The Bolivar Community asks
Texans for Help with Ferry Priority Boarding
Pass Applications
The priority-boarding program will create a
priority-boarding lane on the Bolivar-Galveston
Ferry.
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.

boarding pass application, read the article on:

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.
