SCDOT Transportation Efficiency and Modernization

planned

A South Carolina House committee is gathering public feedback on the South Carolina Department of Transportation's (SCDOT) efficiency as lawmakers address infrastructure complaints. The committee is examining billions in infrastructure funding that have not produced results quickly enough for residents. Discussions include expanding procurement methods to allow contractors and engineers to collaborate from the start, advocating for public-private partnerships to speed up construction and funding, and considering turning certain roads back to municipalities for better local control. The committee is also considering alternative transportation plans such as a Tri-County bike-walk plan.
