SC Alliance to Fix Our Roads

SCFOR applauds the Senate’s passage of @SCDOTPress modernization legislation this week. The bill delivers comprehensive, forward-looking policy reforms that modernize how SC delivers transportation projects. It strengthens accountability, coordination, and transparency while providing new tools to deliver projects more effectively and efficiently.

This Valentine’s Day, we’re celebrating what truly connects us. ❤️

Since 2017, thousands of miles of repairs and improvements have been delivered statewide and this progress is no accident. It is the result of bold investment and an ongoing commitment to use general funds and one-time funding opportunities to keep projects moving. These investments have been invaluable because South Carolina is growing rapidly, but our dedicated revenues are not. To maintain momentum, additional funding is necessary, and we applaud the call to ensure that investments continue so that critical projects in the pipeline can continue to move forward. #KeepSCMovingForward #roads #bridges #safety

Roads and bridges are more than infrastructure; they’re the pathways that link our communities and opportunities together. As we step into the new year, we’re excited to continue working toward a safer, stronger, and more connected South Carolina for everyone who lives, works, and travels here. Happy New Year!

Wishing all a happy holiday and safe travels!

It has been a busy week! The #SCHouse @SCDOTPress Modernization Committee took a deep dive into the big questions around how we move people and goods across our state. Legislators heard briefings on SCDOT structure/operations, future transportation needs, funding mechanisms, and long-term planning. Key highlights: 🚗 South Carolina is growing fast, and our transportation system has to keep up. 📈 Long-range planning identifies major needs in mobility, freight movement, and both urban and rural infrastructure. 🔧 We MUST explore ways to streamline operations, improve coordination, and modernize project delivery. 💰 Funding challenges remain, with rising costs and stagnant revenues putting added pressure on the system. We are grateful to the committee for rolling up their sleeves and working to shape policies that will drive our state forward. #ModernizeSC #Roads #Bridges #Safety #KeepSCMovingForward

A big thank you to our speakers, sponsors, and attendees for making our 2025 Annual Meeting a success! Investing in change means ensuring our transportation policies promote efficiency, better planning, and a sustainable funding model. It means standing unified in our message that infrastructure isn’t a cost, it’s an investment that delivers value to every corner of South Carolina. Appreciate the insights and info from @SCDOTPress Secretary Powell, Commissioner Curtis Spencer, Dr. Joey Von Nessen, Representatives @RKirbySC, Robby Robbins, @VaughanforSC, and Senators @BennettSCSenate, Allen Blackmon, Danny Verdin, and @overture4senate. Thank you for taking the time to join us! #BuildingABetterSC #Roads #Bridges #Safety #Efficiency #KeepSCMovingForward

Today, we recognize and honor the service of our Veterans and the families who support them. Your courage and sacrifice make our freedoms possible. Thank you.

Happy Halloween! 🎃Stay safe, drive carefully, and enjoy the treats!

South Carolina is growing, but transportation revenues are shrinking. The proof is in the pavement. A penny of the gas tax could pave 114 miles in 2018. That same penny won't go near as far today. Over the past year alone, the state lost two miles worth of buying power. Inflation, fuel economy, and more drivers opting for electric and hybrid vehicles will continue to impact the value of our transportation dollars. #ModernizeSC #Roads #Bridges #Safety #KeepSCMovingForward

A key theme from these ad hoc meetings has been the size of the state owned highway system. @SCDOTPress is responsible for maintaining the 4th largest network in the nation!

Packed house for today’s SCDOT Modernization Ad Hoc Committee in Beaufort! #ModernizeSC #Roads #Bridges #Safety #KeepSCMovingForward

Appreciate the opportunity to attend the @lexingtonsccoc Business over Lunch today! Great updates and insights from @SCDOTPress Secretary Powell. It is clear that SC has come a long way and there is more work to be done to meet the needs of our growing state. #roads #bridges #safety #KeepSCMovingForward
