Episode Details

Charleston County Council just approved a half-penny sales tax for transportation, headed to voters in November after last year’s failed attempt. If passed, it’ll fund $4.25 billion over 25 years, extending an existing tax set to expire in 2027. Over 60% will go to roads, $858 million to public transit, and $690 million to greenbelts—with new language mandating bike lanes, pedestrian access, and transit-friendly planning. Meanwhile, CARTA gets a $15 million boost for modernization: downtown hub renovations, a park-and-ride, and a new North Charleston transit center. Voters decide November 3—this could reshape Charleston’s infrastructure for decades.
