Free, On-Demand Transportation Program Comes To Ocean City

OCEAN CITY, NJ — There's a new way to get around Ocean City. Cape May County officials launched a free transportation pilot program that operates within Ocean City from 9 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. weekdays.

The service is available to adults. The county’s Fare-Free Transportation Program has long provided the same service to seniors, the disabled, veterans and low-income residents. But appointments had to be made as much as three days in advance.

The new program allows people to book a ride on-demand through an app and track the location of the shuttle as it arrives. The same services are available via phone.

Anybody can download the free “CMC On Demand” app to get started or call 609-889-3700 to schedule a ride. The new service is part of a pilot test to increase ridership in the county’s Fare-Free Transportation Program.
