OEC Trolley

The OEC Trolley will run as a FREE circulator bus service along Main Street, stretching from Parking Lot F located off Ellicott Mills Drive to Parking Lot A off Oella Avenue across the Patapsco River.

The trolley will operate on Saturdays and Sundays, from 11:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m., and will arrive at its designated trolley stops every 10 to 15 minutes. On weekends when special events or significant activities are happening in town, the OEC Trolley route will be extended up to the historic Circuit Courthouse parking lot at 8360 Court Avenue, to better connect residents and visitors with Main Street.

The OEC Trolley is launched in partnership with the County’s Office of Transportation, the Regional Transportation Agency of Central Maryland (RTA), and the Ellicott City Partnership.

A ribbon cutting ceremony will take place on Thursday, May 15, 2025, at 11:00am at Tiber Park in Old Ellicott City, where the new vehicles will be present for those interested to view. Service for the OEC Trolley starts the following Saturday, May 17, 2025.
