TRANSPORTATION

Florence County has an extensive and impressive transportation network composed
of roads, an airport, rail, and a transit system that make it a hub for the entire Pee Dee
Region. Its proximity to the inland port in Dillon County is also an asset.

Roads

Florence County has a long standing history of supporting and funding transportation
projects throughout Florence County. From FLATS to the Capital Project Sales Tax, the
County is involved in transportation planning at all levels and modes. While FLATS (Florence
Area Transportation Study) is responsible for transportation planning in portions of Florence
County and prepares independent planning documents including the LRTP (Long Range
Transportation Plan) and TIP (Transportation Improvement Program), it is important to
highlight transportation planning features as part of this plan for the FLATS area and other
non-FLATS areas in Florence County.
