Charleston Moves advocates for bicycle, pedestrian and public transit infrastructure and policy across Charleston County. Each May, they host Mobility Month, a celebration of safe streets. This year’s program offers a selection of festive bike rides highlighting new infrastructure, community audits and bicycle/pedestrian counts, and a proclamation with the City of Charleston.
With the belief that everyone has the right to commute and recreate as they choose, moving from one place to another safely and comfortably, the nonprofit’s event series rallies the community around mobility priorities and opportunities to advocate, while celebrating significant infrastructure wins. Their 2026 program, with generous support from sponsors and community partners, presents:
