South Carolina has the fourth largest state-owned highway system in the nation. There are over 41,000 miles of roadways and 8,400 bridges that make up our state system. In order to repair, maintain, and improve these roads and bridges, South Carolina depends on federal and state revenues derived from fuel taxes and vehicle related fees.
This extensive transportation network is the backbone of our economy, allowing South Carolina motorists to travel 57 billion miles annually and moving a significant portion of the $400 billion worth of commodities shipped to and from the state each year.
