Transportation Planning
Santee-Lynches works with the South Carolina Department of Transportation (SCDOT) and other transportation stakeholders to conduct transportation planning for the region. This planning is consolidated into a Long-Range Transportation Plan (LRTP), which identifies needs and prioritized projects by category across the four-county region.
On an ongoing basis, Santee-Lynches provides transportation planning and technical assistance services to the units of local government in the region.
