Officials Considering West OC Area Trolley Service

OCEAN CITY -- Though a possible $10,000 in financial support will have to wait until a budget is adopted in June, the Worcester County Commissioners told Tourism Director Lisa Challenger this week that a new tourist trolley program has their unofficial “blessing” and has a lot of potential.

The proposal for the trolley program comes from the Tri-County Council, which represents Worcester, Wicomico, and Somerset counties, and “would transport visitors between West Ocean City, Assateague, Ocean Pines and points in between such as the Ocean Downs Casino,” according to a memo from Challenger. The trolleys themselves are actually Town of Ocean City busses with shells designed to look like old-fashioned trolleys.

Annual costs for the trolley program are estimated at $140,000. Worcester is being asked to contribute $10,000 toward that.
