During the 2019 trolley season, over 3,500 residents and visitors rode on the Urbanna trolley, known as The Pearl. Total 2019 ridership was up by 91% compared to the 1,869 trolley rides taken in 2018.
Bay Transit provides public transportation in the Northern Neck, Middle Peninsula and Charles City and New Kent counties, and also operates seasonal trolleys in Colonial Beach and Kilmarnock.
