The Beaufort County Transportation Committee has been bestowed the inaugural Transportation Excellence Award from the South Carolina Department of Transportation (SCDOT). "Paving the way for stronger communities," the award recognizes dedicated service and commitment to building safer, stronger and more accessible transportation infrastructure for the citizens of Beaufort County.

Chad Rawls, SCDOT C Program Manager, praised the committee's efforts and partnership through the years: "Every time that someone asks me who's getting it right, I use your committee as the example . . . you're not only helping the people of Beaufort, you're helping people across the state and you should be very proud of that."

Committee Chairman Kraig Gordon thanked the Committee for their excellence in service amongst County Transportation Committees across the state, stating: "I can't thank this Committee enough for the hard work that you put into serving." 

The Beaufort County Transportation Committee formulates a county transportation plan to establish aims and goals of the committee, approve the expenditure of “C” Funds in compliance with S.C. Code Ann. §12-28-2740, and make annual reports to the SCDOT of expenditures in accordance with S.C. Code Ann. §12-28-2740(D).
