Barton submitted, the Fire Department EMS uses Medevac helicopters approximately 40-50 times each year to transport critical patients to specialty medical facilities throughout Maryland. The large parking lot in the rear of the West Ocean City Park and Ride, when unoccupied, is an ideal location for a Medevac helicopter zone. Also, Maryland State Police (MSP) Aviation has inquired about using the site as a Medevac helicopter zone. Barton has consulted with Public Works Director Hal Adkins and the Transportation Department. According to Barton, Adkins is supportive and does not believe the use of the facility as a landing zone violated any agreements in place relative to the use of the site.
