Trolley service targeting marinas, beaches and businesses from northern Calvert into Anne Arundel County is planned for the summer.
The Beach Trolley Association is seeking $35,000 to support a trolley that would run between the Chesapeake Beach Railway Museum and the Deale area.
The idea is to provide weekend transportation for boaters, visitors and residents to go to the many shops, grocery stores and restaurants, said Stewart B. Cumbo, president of the trolley group.
"It is the first year," said Cumbo, who is also a Chesapeake Beach Town Council member. He said the association initially considered two trolleys but decided on running one. "We wanted to be reasonable, to see what we could afford and see if it is a viable transportation system."
Adjustments to the two-hour loop schedule and service arrangements could be made in the first year and beyond, if the service continues for a second season, he said. The BTA is working on a schedule for the trolley's nearly 55 stops along Routes 261, 2 and 256, which would include some residential communities, such as Burnt Oaks in North Beach.
We are looking to get a great deal of support from the business community, because we feel they will be the ones who benefit from this," Cumbo said. He added that the group has not sought government grants or other types of funding to support the service because of the accelerated timeline for the project. However, he expressed optimism that a proven service record in the trolley's first year would help secure such grants in subsequent years.
The management of Herrington Harbour North near Tracey's Landing, and Herrington Harbour South in Rosehaven, pledged $5,000 to get the group started.
We firmly believe it will be a positive thing for this community by getting a trolley up and running. It is going to show interest in the inaugural year so granting associations will see how beneficial this trolley will be to the area," said Jed Dickman, marina manager at Herrington Harbour South.
