“Charleston moves encourages mobility by bicycle and on foot for the improved health and well-being of greater charleston - our people, neighborhoods, business districts and overall economic competitiveness. Charleston moves is a nonprofit organization working to make the places we live and work healthier and happier by transforming our streets and pathways into safe corridors for bicycles, pedestrians and mass transit.”

“We believe in a connected charleston. We advocate action to get multi-modal countywide infrastructure on the ground. We seek to educate citizens, municipalities and elected officials on the value of alternatives to automobile travel. We implement programs that focus on creating safe and equitable public spaces for transportation, recreation and enhanced quality of life. For the 2018 year, 87 cents of every dollar spent went to our charitable programs. What we are doing: people pedal chs (the downtown bike plan) a joint effort between charleston moves and the city of charleston. It is now complete, unanimously supported by city council, and incorporated into all regional transportation plans. Charleston moves held events in support of implementation, including bike rides and letter signing we have more than 400 letters of support. Sharrows painted on downtown streets are the first phase, indicating shared space between bicyclists and motorists. From a mother riding with her children on grove street: a car behind us wanted to pass ... At that moment we rolled over a sharrow ... That helped me to feel a bit more confident about my place on the street. The plan has funding in the citys 2019 budget, and the line street segment improvements start soon. Tactical urbanism we delved into the world of tactical urbanism this year. Working with volunteers and partner groups, we painted 14 crosswalks along upper king street. Through grants provided by the east coast greenway alliance and aarp livable communities, we painted three more along the west ashley greenway, and also conducted on-site and e-surveys. Artistic crosswalks are meant to draw attention to people on bikes and foot, encouraging motorists to share the space safely. From our west ashley surveys, more than 71% of respondents feel safer when they see the crosswalks. More than 96% of respondents like the work, feel happier when they see it, want more installed, and want them to be permanent. From a motorist: i actually first noticed the crosswalk as a driver. It immediately caught my attention as i approached it, improving my attention to the crosswalk itself as well as improving my mood light the night twice a year, charleston moves, with partner groups and volunteers, sets up in neighborhoods or business districts for our light the night events. We distribute hundreds of free bike lights and educational spoke cards. The cards outline the rights of people on bikes as they ride. Our volunteers also scout the area and strap lights to bikes they see that are lacking. State law requires that bikes have lights at night; by removing economic barriers, we can work to ensure our community is safer when riding. Just ride thanks to a grant from the better bike share partnership, we have worked with partner organizations to create just ride. This program aims to provide equitable bike share access through the city of charlestons holy spokes system to citizens who are unbanked and of low- to moderate- income. Since april 2018, our coalition has hired 7 community ambassadors, relocated 2 bike share stations to areas lacking access, and signed up 39 members. With a keen focus on economic, racial and social justice, just ride serves as a reliable transportation resource for community members who have not previously had access. Car free week this year, we celebrated car-free week for the first time. Kicking off on world car-free day in september, we invited supporters, business leaders and elected officials to pledge to take at least one trip per day by bike, foot or bus. Representative marvin pendarvis (d-charleston), councilmember susan hill smith (city of isle of palms), and councilmember carol jackson (city of charleston), as well as many citizens,sent us anecdotes and photos each day. Councilmember smith also published a column on her experiences in the island eye news. Upgrade brigade this year, we worked with neighborhoods,partner groups and the city of charleston to place a temporary”
