South Carolina continues to be one of the fastest-growing states in the nation, and our transportation network plays a critical role in our economy.
South Carolina is responsible for one of the largest state-owned transportation networks in the nation. While much progress has been made towards repairs and improvements to our extensive network, there is much work to be done.
Rising construction costs, and the decline of motor fuel taxes due to inflation, improved fuel efficiency, and the growing popularity of hybrid and electric vehicles are jeopardizing the state’s ability to keep pace with growing transportation needs.
Remaining proactive about infrastructure needs and investments ensures that our state remains economically competitive while improving access and mobility, reducing delays, and improving safety for the people and businesses that rely on our roads and bridges every day.
