Last Fall, Charleston County Council directed County staff to conduct a broad-based public, municipal, and stakeholder listening effort to gather input on the current and future transportation needs.

As part of that effort, County staff attended and presented at 67 public and stakeholder meetings across Charleston County. This outreach resulted in nearly 29,000 public comments, more than 600 individual project requests, and approximately $68 billion in identified transportation needs.

Do you believe the process thus far has been transparent and community driven?

Using public input, County Council adopted a set of guiding principles to inform future Transportation Sales Tax (TST) decisions. They are:

Finish What Was Promised
Complete key projects carried forward from the existing Transportation Sales Tax program.

Focus on Congestion Relief and Safety
Invest fairly across the county to reduce congestion and improve roadway safety brought on by growth.

Support Multimodal Mobility
Enhance communities with sidewalks, bicycle facilities, and transit services that address identified needs and improve mobility.

Use Greenbelt Investments to Manage Growth and Protect Quality of Life
Protect natural areas through continued Greenbelt investments that help limit overdevelopment and support long-term quality of life.

Build Resilient Infrastructure
Integrate flood mitigation and resiliency measures into transportation projects to strengthen infrastructure.

Ensure Transparency and Accountability
Maintain strong oversight and clear communication to demonstrate progress and responsible stewardship of public funds.

Do you believe these guiding principles are fair and reflect the mindset of Charleston County residents?

All projects included in the draft were evaluated using a 100-point scoring system based on public and municipal support, congestion relief, and safety improvements, as well as consistency with the guiding principles.
