The function of the South Carolina Department of Transportation (SCDOT) is the systematic planning, construction, maintenance, and operation of the state highway system and the development of a statewide mass transit system that is consistent with the needs and desires of the public. The SCDOT also coordinates all state and federal programs relating to highways.
In South Carolina, we experience many changes. Shifts in population, communities, businesses, the environment, safety, and travel habits influence how people and goods move across our state. It is crucial that the state proactively plans for these changes and disruptions so that the SCDOT can provide a multimodal transportation system that maximizes safety, protects the environment, and supports our economy. Momentum 2050: Moving South Carolina Forward is SCDOT’s plan for the future of the state’s multimodal transportation network. This document serves as a comprehensive statewide plan for all users, modes, and areas involved in South Carolina’s transportation system. SCDOT evaluates the transportation system, identifies upcoming changes, and determines how to enhance it over the coming decades. Momentum 2050 does not specify particular projects or location decisions but instead develops strategies and policies to help SCDOT prioritize projects that realize its vision. SCDOT updates the plan every five years as the agency progresses toward its goals and conditions evolve.
