## Resource

South Carolina just overhauled its transportation system with a bold new law: the old nine-member DOT commission is gone, replaced by a single governor-appointed secretary to cut through bureaucracy and hold someone accountable for fixing crumbling roads. With over 40,000 miles of highways in disrepair, the move aims to speed up repairs and bring clarity to leadership. Meanwhile, the state is eyeing “choice lanes” — paid express lanes — in cities like Charleston and Greenville, but only after extensive studies to ensure they’re financially viable and community-friendly. While the changes signal a new direction, experts warn that decades of neglect won’t be fixed overnight — and transportation will remain a top issue in the next governor’s race.
