CARTA is launching CARTA Now & Next, the agency’s plan for short- and long-term improvements to transit services in the greater Charleston area. To kick off the project, CARTA invites community members to share their experiences with transit service today and priorities for future service by participating in an open house, virtual meeting, bus stop-pop-up, or survey next week.
