We know rising our limited local transit system is hard. This summer we're planning a series of events to help get everyone to the beach. As the parking on the Island disappears, experienced transit riders will meet you inland and help you reach the beach. Transit to the Atlantic, Summerville to the Sea. 

Most of the guides leading our rides will be experienced members of our corps of conductors. 

We're also doing the opposite, setting up some Flee the Sea rides for IOP residents escaping the congestion and the crowds for shopping and diversions on the mainland because transit should be about options.

Guided rides and events for people from Summerville, Ridgeville, Lincolnville and Brownville will mark the end of Juneteenth. 

Sat. July 1- T-Day Veterans take the Beach and the Bus

Veterans from across the Lowcountry will begin the Independence Day Holiday period by helping each other and the community reach the beach at the Isle of Palms  See the Eventbrite ticket sign up for guided rides originating near where you live.  We’ll have experienced transit riders working as guides from veterans facilities in inland areas. On the Isle of Palms, veterans will be welcomed at the VFW Post 3137, the Post on the Coast, with it’s wonderful oceanfront deck and view.  To Reach the VFW Post see vfwpost3137.org

For a very different way to enjoy the beach, look into our Pirate Project. The Beach is Breat, but it can be better for some people if they are pirates. Read about Queen Ruby of the Pirates and Her Ladies in Raiding.
