One LCRT bus is anticipated to carry 90-100 passengers, comparable to dozens of individual car trips. As the Lowcountry continues to grow, transportation solutions aren’t just focused on moving vehicles, they’re about moving people to the places that matter most.

Reynolds Avenue, Mall Drive and Aviation/Remount residents and business owners, join us at an open house this week! The Lowcountry is growing, and the communities along the @LCRapidTransit corridor are at the center of that change. The Transit Oriented Development Planning process ensures that the growth ahead strengthens the foundation — and that the people who made these neighborhoods help shape what they become. Bring your questions, contribute your ideas and share your voice. 💡 Learn more: bit.ly/4wAYEz5
