The South Carolina Department of Transportation created the South Carolina Carbon Reduction Strategy. The South Carolina Department of Transportation (SCDOT) has developed the South Carolina Carbon Reduction Strategy (CRS) to align with federal requirements to reduce carbon emissions produced by the transportation sector. These requirements were established as part of the Carbon Reduction Program (CRP), authorized by the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law (BIL) adopted in 2021 and codified in 23 U.S.C. 175. The BIL is a generational investment in our nation’s infrastructure, notably our transportation network. The BIL paves the way to prioritize investments in our transportation system that help our communities by updating the condition of streets, highways, trails, and bridges to make them safer; modernizing the transportation network to accommodate all users to foster a more equitable future; and making the transportation sector more sustainable and resilient to climate change. The BIL will accomplish this, in part, through the CRP, and other funding programs like the Bridge Investment Program, the National Electric Vehicle (EV) Charging Program, and the PROTECT Program. This law charges the CRP to combine federal goals and requirements with each state’s unique context to fund infrastructure projects that reduce CO2 emissions.
