Momentum 2050 is more than a plan – it is a road map for economic prosperity in South Carolina. The road and bridge network in South Carolina supports the movement of freight and people across our state. We have to keep these critical arteries of commerce flowing. We are designing a future that connects rural South Carolina to the global economy and provides access to job opportunities while continuing to promote the prosperity of our urban centers.

This is not just the work of the South Carolina Department of Transportation – this is an effort by everyone on Team South Carolina. We’re working closely with key stakeholders like the Ports Authority, Department of Commerce and the Office of Resilience. We’re also connecting with the officials in your local communities and asking for input from our bike, pedestrian, transit and freight partners.

I’m glad you’re here. I encourage you to participate in the planning effort, and I want you to know that the proud team at the South Carolina Department of Transportation is committed to building the future for the people of South Carolina.

South Carolina Secretary of Transportation Justin P. Powell
