  • Roads carry a significant portion of the $400 billion worth of commodities shipped to and from the state each year.
  • The design, construction, and maintenance of transportation infrastructure in South Carolina supports approximately 50,000 full-time jobs across all sectors of the state economy.
  • Approximately 919,000 full-time jobs in South Carolina in key industries like tourism, retail sales, agriculture and manufacturing are completely dependent on the state’s transportation network.
