The South Carolina Department of Transportation shares your interest in enhancing your community, town, city or county.

Since 1992, the SCDOT Commission has elected to allocate a portion of available funds for the Transportation Enhancement Program. The program facilitates and provides a greater opportunity for local governments to collaborate with the agency to pursue a broad range of non-traditional transportation related activities such as bicycle and pedestrian facilities, streetscaping, scenic and landscaping programs, and historic preservation. The Transportation Enhancement Funds are provided by the Transportation Equity Act for the 21st Century (also known as TEA 21 and formerly known as ISTEA) and allocated by the South Carolina Department of Transportation.

The program defines "enhancement" projects as accomplishing one or more of the following:

Acquisition of Scenic Easement	Archeological Planning	Bike/Pedestrian Safety
Control of Outdoor Advertising	Historic Preservation	Landscaping and Beautification
Environmental Mitigation	Bike/Pedestrian Facilities	Preservation of Rail Corridors
Renovation of Historic Structures	Scenic Byway	Transportation Museums
