Charleston Moves is a nonprofit organization that encourages mobility by bicycle, foot and public transit for the improved health and well-being of greater Charleston — our people, neighborhoods, business districts and overall economic competitiveness.

Mission + Vision

We envision a connected, safe, accessible and equitable Charleston — where each of us has a choice in how we move from one place to another. We see strong, diverse neighborhoods where school children, folks in wheelchairs, and people with canes cross streets safely in their own time. We see streets lined with homes, bustling shops and restaurants. We see bridges and waterways where people on bicycles and on foot travel alongside buses and cars on their way to work, to the doctor, to the grocery store — freely and safely.

We see renewed life in our streets — a Charleston that’s ours to sculpt.

That’s why we speak out to councils, committees, agencies, and even the State House, advocating for sound policies. Why we push to flourish, not stagnate. Why we work with urban planners, engineers and citizen groups. Study, audit and document the dangers and issues of our intersections, corridors and bridges — and work to make them better, safer and more accessible. This is our determined, continuous commitment to remake systems and power enduring change.

Because the streets belong to everyone. Pedestrians and school kids. People on bicycles and people on buses. Citizens in wheelchairs and with canes. Moped and motorcycle drivers. All of us moving. Safely. Together.
