SCDOT launches New Website to track Rebuilding Plan

The South Carolina Department of Transportation (SCDOT) has taken more steps to allow the public to view a detailed revenue statement and project list that is supported by the Infrastructure Maintenance Trust Fund (IMTF). The information is a further effort to assist South Carolinians in keeping track of the additional gas tax revenues which are deposited in the IMTF. The IMTF funds the 10-Year Plan to Rebuild South Carolina’s roads. Earlier this month, SCDOT added the IMTF Report on the agency’s website to provide a monthly statement of how much revenue is available for the improvement projects. The revenue statement and the project list have been added to the IMTF Report as of March 1. Since the Roads Bill was passed on July 1, 2017, Secretary of Transportation Christy Hall stated that SCDOT is quite clear on the expectations the public has for this new revenue to be spent wisely. “The additional information we are providing related to the project list and the funds committed is a further move forward in SCDOT’s on-going efforts to be as accountable and transparent as possible,” said Hall. Finally, Hall said SCDOT will continue to upgrade and provide regular updates on the revenues and expenditures related to all SCDOT Highway programs.
