The South Carolina Department of Transportation is looking for public input on the future of transportation in South Carolina through a multimodal transportation survey. Momentum 2050 is the statewide plan for the future of South Carolina’s transportation network. Every five years SCDOT updates the plan for the future of the state’s multimodal transportation network. The document is a statewide plan for all users, all modes and any area that has a role in South Carolina’s transportation system. It evaluates the status of the transportation system, what’s changing, and how we’re going to move forward over the next twenty-five years. This plan does not choose specific projects or decide what will be built where, but it develops the vision and goals for the future of transportation in South Carolina.

Update for the I-4 Corridor Today, June 14th, the Sun Coast Transportation Planning Alliance and Central Florida MPO Alliance will discuss expanding passenger rail service along the I-4 corridor to tackle our region’s rapid growth and traffic. This resolution supports adding Brightline's new rail line and boosting Amtrak services between Tampa Bay and Orlando. Despite past funding challenges, the vision for a connected super-region stays strong. Governor DeSantis plans to reserve space on I-4 for train service, but state grants won’t directly support Brightline. Orlando officials are also working on expanding SunRail to key spots, which could cost over $4 billion. This effort ties in with FDOT's $2.4 billion project to improve I-4 over the next 10 years. With the right planning and investment, we can create safe, reliable, and efficient transportation options to support our growing population and economy. Ill report back with updates as they are released. #TampaBay #Orlando #Transportation #Brightline #Amtrak #SunRail #I4Corridor #FDOT #Infrastructure #RealEstate

🚅 A proposal to connect #Texas’ two largest cities with high-speed rail just got a $64 million boost from the federal government. But challenges remain, including the train’s path through private properties in rural areas between #Houston and #Dallas. As fellow Ed Emmett points out: “High-speed rail can get around [private property issues] by using eminent domain, but it’s going to cost a lot of money and take a lot of time and court battles.” Learn more at ABC13 Houston: https://bit.ly/4en9QFX
