==Transportation== [[File:Reedville-Tangier cruise boat.jpg|thumb|The ''Chesapeake Breeze'', in port at Reedville, Virginia.]] The only modes of transportation to and from the island are boats and airplanes. There is an [[Tangier Island Airport|airport]], open from dawn to dusk.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.airnav.com/airport/KTGI|title=AirNav: KTGI β Tangier Island Airport|website=www.airnav.com}}</ref> There are two boats that travel regularly from [[Crisfield, Maryland|Crisfield]], [[Maryland]], across Tangier Sound to Tangier. Passengers and mail are carried on these boats. The [[mail boat]], the ''Courtney Thomas,'' leaves Tangier at 8:00 am and leaves Crisfield at 12:30 pm. The ''Steven Thomas'', a 300-passenger cruise boat, leaves Crisfield at 12:30 pm and departs Tangier at 4:00 pm during the summer season β from [[Memorial Day]] weekend through mid-October. In the summer season, the ''Chesapeake Breeze'' travels daily from [[Reedville, Virginia]], on the Western Shore, leaving Reedville at 10:00 am and leaving Tangier at 2:00 pm. The ferry service to and from [[Onancock, Virginia]] on the ''Joyce Marie II'' runs daily from the first weekend of May through the first weekend of October.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.tangierferry.com/ |title=Tangier Onancock Ferry |access-date=August 11, 2018}}</ref> Transportation on the island does not rely heavily on automobiles. Some residents outfit [[golf cart]]s with passenger trailers to offer "historical tours" of the island for tourists. The roads on Tangier are wide enough for two golf carts. Tourists and islanders often use golf carts, boats, mopeds, and bikes, but some have trucks and cars.
