Auto transportation to Chappaquiddick is provided by two ferries, the "On Time II" and "On Time III". A common myth is that the original ferry "On Time"  was given its name because the ferry has never had scheduled runs and thus is never late. In fact, the ferry was given this name because a new owner, Foster B. Silva of Chappaquiddick, had less than two weeks to build it before taking over the service on August 1, 1948. The work crew—led by Captain Samuel B. Norton and master boatbuilder Manuel Swartz Roberts, both of Edgartown—built and launched the new ferry "on time." This original "On Time" was converted to a barge dispensing fresh water to visiting yachtsmen after its service as a ferry ended in 1975. The barge was sold and lost track of in the late 1990s. The "On Time II," built in 1969, and the "On Time III," built in 1975 and now owned by Peter. S. Wells and his wife Sally T. Snipes of Chappaquiddick, are still in service.<ref>{{cite book|last=Dunlop|first=Tom|title=The Chappy Ferry Book|year=2012|publisher=Vineyard Stories|location=Edgartown, MA|isbn=9780984913602|pages=128}}</ref>

In addition to the ''On Time'' Ferry, Edgartown is home to another ferry, the ''Pied Piper'', which runs seasonally between the town and Falmouth, on Cape Cod.  There are two airports in the town. [[Katama Airpark]] is a grass field and located between Katama Bay and Edgartown Great Pond in the southern part of town; it serves smaller private aircraft.  Along the border of the state forest lies [[Martha's Vineyard Airport]], which Edgartown shares with West Tisbury.  This airport is used for commercial commuter flights from nearby sites on the mainland and Nantucket.
