Grant could help bring on-demand, same-day transportation to rural areas of SC

  • Date: 07/24/2023

A new $342,000 grant from the Federal Transit Administration (FTA) will help one Lowcountry organization plan for a new on-demand and transit program for rural communities.

Funds awarded to the Berkeley-Charleston-Dorchester Council of Governments (BCDCOG) this month are part of the FTA’s Areas of Persistent Poverty program and will be used to support planning work that is needed to implement same day, on-demand transit service in the underserved rural areas of Charleston, Berkeley, and Dorchester counties with TriCounty Link.

Officials with BCDCOG say the goal is to connect vulnerable residents to existing and emerging job centers through an efficient and modern transit system, along with training facilities and CARTA’s urban area transit network, and the future Lowcountry Rapid Transit service area.
