COG envisions network of bus rapid transit routes
A public transit plan is in the works to help alleviate traffic woes in the Lowcountry, where booming business and a growing population are continuing to increase congestion.
Between 2016 and 2017, the Lowcountry added 38 residents each day — including 28 transplants and 10 births — according to data from the U.S. Census Bureau’s American Community Survey.
The Charleston metro area is the 47th fastest-growing metro in the country as of 2017 — growing at three times the U.S. average — with a population of 775,831 residents, data show.
