Join TASC Today!

It’s time to renew your membership to the Transportation Association of South Carolina (TASC)…and, if you are not a member, now is the time to join! It is time for you to engage. Our agenda is packed! We need more involvement from staff at all levels of our member agencies.

As the voice for South Carolina’s public transportation providers, the biggest part of our agenda is to engage with our legislators to increase the visibility of transit. Ultimately, we want to increase transit options throughout the state focused on access to jobs, connections to healthcare, and enhancing tourist transportation.

The TASC Board has just completed our year end retreat. We have committed ourselves to increasing the visibility of transit in South Carolina and are working toward increased funding. We set four priorities for the upcoming year:

  1. Began a Strategic Planning Process to better establish our purpose and goals to better serve our members and stakeholders.
  2. Execute the plan for engagement with the State Legislature.
  3. Increase membership involvement and opportunities to work and learn together.
  4. Host the premier training conference that will include direct interaction with the State Legislature.

We are planning additional engagements in 2024/2025 to continue the development of the legislative agenda in support of our vision. Events include:

  • September 3-6, 2024 (Myrtle Beach): Annual Conference and Vendor Expo
  • January 28, 2025 (Columbia): Legislative Reception

And don’t forget, TASC is only as strong as those that support it, and we need your participation to be successful. If you are interested in being a member of a committee, visit www.transitsc.org/committees to view committee objectives, members, and current openings.

On behalf of the FY2025 Board of Directors, we cannot wait to work with you.
