The South Carolina Department of Transportation is asking residents to help shape the state’s public transportation policies and investments for the next 25 years.
SCDOT is developing a Statewide Transit Plan to identify transportation needs, improve coordination with local transit agencies and expand access to jobs, health care, schools and other destinations. The plan will also focus on supporting economic growth and guiding future transit programs and policies.
Residents can participate through an online survey and a virtual public meeting scheduled for Thursday, Nov. 5, from 5:30 to 6:30 p.m. The meeting will include a question-and-answer session.
Those unable to attend can access a recording and meeting materials on the project website after Nov. 5.
SCDOT is also encouraging residents to complete an online survey about their public transportation experiences, needs and priorities. The survey will remain open through Nov. 20, 2026.
The agency said public feedback, along with data and input from stakeholders, will help guide the plan’s development and future transportation investments.
More information about the Statewide Transit Plan, including the virtual meeting and public survey, is available here.
