Join us for our annual celebration of complete streets!
Each May, Charleston Moves hosts a series of events aimed at bringing the community together to elevate multi-modal accomplishments, provide updates on our priority projects, and offer calls to action, as well as volunteer opportunities, to advance our people-powered movement.
Due to COVID, we will be hosting this year’s events both virtually and on-your-own-time. They will be an engaging mix of independent rides to celebrate the recent installation of precedent-setting infrastructure, as well as interactive presentations around targeted advocacy efforts with local and national experts. See below for details to participate!
A huge THANK YOU to our generous month-long sponsors: BoomTown, Kimley-Horn, LeGrand Elebash Real Estate, Lucey Mortgage Corporation, Morrison Yard, Parker Capital Management of Raymond James, Raven Cliff Company and Superior Construction!
