Charleston Moves advocates for safe, connected and equitable mobility for all. Each May we host Mobility Month, a celebration of complete streets. This year’s program is particularly special, as we will commemorate Charleston Moves’ 20th anniversary!
Events are aimed at bringing the community together to elevate multi-modal accomplishments, provide updates on our priority projects, and offer calls to action to advance our people-powered movement. Critical mass is of critical importance as we work to build widespread, diverse community support and demonstrate how safe, equitable infrastructure that works for all, benefits all.

The McKnight Law Firm focuses on roadway related injuries and wrongful death incidents. Jody McKnight is a native Charlestonian and has been in practice since 1993.

Morrison Yard is a mindfully-designed space in Charleston’s Upper Peninsula neighborhood opening November 2022, bringing apartment homes, workspaces, shops, restaurants, and green space to the city’s vibrant local community. Situated along the Cooper River at the base of the Ravenel Bridge, the premier residential destination is easily accessible for bikers and pedestrians with ample bike storage available and a bike repair shop on site. Morrison Yard is working with city planners to create a pedestrian/bike connection to the bridge and install a traffic light to make commuting easier and safer.
HELP US REACH OUR FUNDRAISING GOAL
This year, Charleston Moves celebrates its 20th anniversary. We are extremely proud to look back and see how we’ve upheld a legacy. In 2005, we bridged the Cooper River with Wonders’ Way, the bicycle and pedestrian path on the Ravenel Bridge. And now, in 2025, we’re bridging the Ashley River with a world-class standalone bicycle and pedestrian bridge, the first pedestrian cable-stayed swing bridge in the United States.
Success takes YOU, because progress is people-powered. We use Mobility Month as an annual rallying point to grow our movement and continue making change. Please join us for events throughout May and donate to our campaign to power our advocacy in 2025.
When you give to Charleston Moves, you put dollars toward having proven expertise at the table for dozens of transportation projects across Charleston County each year. In 2024, we handled over 50 projects — working to deliver the best for you out of each one. That’s about a project per week. But as you know, it’s not ever that simple. Each project careens through stages that involve countless hours and cycles of study, negotiation, activation, resolution … then often more negotiation, delay and reengagement. It’s not easy. But your trust in us is what moves us forward.
