Transportation Sales Tax

Contact your Charleston County Councilmember BEFORE FEBRUARY 10: 

In advance of the next Charleston County Council meeting, let your councilmember know you support a minimum 5% allocation to a separate bike/ped program and a 20% allocation to transit. Your expectations also include bicycle, pedestrian and transit infrastructure being funded as part of other categories. Read more, including data points to bolster your request, in our blog post here.

You can also:

• Sign our petition in support of the next TST funding a minimum of 11.6% to bicycle and pedestrian infrastructure, regardless of the funding category, HERE.
• Speak during the council meeting next week in support of spending a minimum of $493M on bicycle and pedestrian connectivity over the lifetime of the next sales tax extension, regardless of funding category. Instructions on public comment at council are HERE.

Sol Legare Sidewalk Project

Community Meeting

Sol Legare Community Center (1964 Sol Legare Rd, 29412)

The Sol Legare sidewalk project will provide 1-mile of new 5′ sidewalk along the corridor between Folly Road and the Sol Legare Community Center, in addition to stormwater improvements and some repaving. At this meeting, Charleston County Public Works officials will provide an overview of the project’s progress to date, review conceptual plans, and outline anticipated next steps. Following the presentation, attendees will have an opportunity to speak directly with members of the project team. As previously noted, $7M was just allocated to this project by Charleston County Council to move it forward. For additional details, you can reference the county’s press release, as well as coverage from Live 5 News.

Sam Rittenberg Redesign Plan

» Petition HERE

If you were unable to attend the City of Charleston’s public information meeting in December 2025, you can review the conceptual designs and analysis report here, and provide comments via the project’s interactive map here. The concept uses existing right-of-way to create a more functional, welcoming and comfortable street through the use of landscaped medians, updated signalization, wide paths for walking and bicycling, and improved lighting.

The City’s next steps are to complete 30% of the design for two phases, from Charles Towne Drive to Ashley Hall Road, and Ashley Hall Road to Ashley River Road. At that point, the project will be a solid candidate for grants. We at Charleston Moves want to encourage continued forward momentum, so we have started a petition. Please add your name! We hope the City will be able to use this to demonstrate widespread support in their grant applications.

Highway 61 Safety Improvements

» Sign our petition

Following Road Safety Audits conducted by SCDOT in February and March of 2023, in partnership with stakeholders including Charleston Moves, the agency presented findings and recommendations for the public’s review and input. While the comment period has closed, our petition in support of separated bike lanes and an improved crossing at the intersection of 61 and the Maryville Bikeway is still open.

We submitted signatures received so far along with our comment letter to SCDOT. We will resubmit the signatures (as well as new ones) to the agency once SCDOT revises their concepts and brings them back for further review.
