Modern Transportation to Transform Our Region South Carolina's first mass transit system.
Lowcountry Rapid Transit (LCRT) is a modern bus rapid transit system that will connect the region, its communities, key destinations and employment centers. This project will transform our region by improving transportation for people traveling on buses, on foot and on bikes. The foundation of LCRT will serve Charleston and North Charleston and spark upward mobility and economic growth through the area.

Bus rapid transit (BRT) is fast, comfortable and affordable mass transportation. BRT systems, sometimes referred to as "light rail on wheels," offer predictable service and benefits such as upgraded stations, onboard Wifi and transit signal priority. BRT vehicles, often elongated buses, travel mostly in dedicated lanes to avoid traffic.
U.S.-based BRT systems, which are growing in popularity, can be found in Richmond, Va., Jacksonville, Fla., Eugene, Ore., Cleveland, Ohio and more!
