A new lot is coming for Charleston hospitality workers’ park-and-ride service
Once work begins on the new Charleston Tech Center, a service that provides affordable parking to downtown hospitality employees will be bumped out of its current spot on Morrison Drive.
But workers who utilize CARTA’s Hospitality on Peninsula, or HOP, shuttles don’t need to worry, said City Councilman and Charleston Area Regional Transportation Authority board chairman Mike Seekings. The program is here to stay, thanks to a nearby lot that’s waiting in the wings.
The park-and-ride program was launched in April as an affordable alternative for employees of hotels and restaurants on the peninsula. Parking costs a flat $5 all-day rate, and rides on the shuttle are free.
