The South Carolina Department of Transportation (SCDOT) is seeking comment from the public on the potential for introduction of a High-Occupancy Vehicle or High-Occupancy Toll lane on I-26 from Summerville to Charleston.
High Occupancy Vehicles (HOV) lanes would require vehicles to have one or more passengers in addition to the driver to reduce the number of vehicles on the road. Commuters who choose to carpool are then able to take advantage of the less-traveled lanes. High Occupancy Toll (HOT) lanes can be used by drivers traveling alone who wish to pay a toll for the use of the lane. There is no requirement for the driver to have a minimum number of passengers in the vehicle. Commuters who choose to carpool may still use the lane without paying a toll.
To gauge public comment, please complete the online survey available at the link below:

Survey responses will be received until October 22, 2008. In addition, public meetings will be held in four locations along the corridor between September 22 and September 30. Surveys will be available and may also be hand-submitted at the public meetings.
The following are the dates, times and locations, with a formal presentation to start the meetings:
