As a Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO), the Florence Area Transportation Study (FLATS) is a process by which local officials and citizens have input in the expenditure of transportation funds within the urban area of Florence, South Carolina. Any major road project or transit project that takes place in this area using federal funds must be considered and approved by the FLATS Policy Committee.

The FLATS Policy Committee consists of representatives from the State Legislature, members of Florence County Council and Florence City Council, and the Mayor of the Town of Quinby.  Any projects that come before the FLATS Policy Committee are first examined by the FLATS Study Team, which consists of technical representatives from various agencies and departments in the area.  The recommendations provided by the FLATS Study Team are then passed on to the FLATS Policy Committee for consideration.  Projects approved by the FLATS Policy Committee are then listed in the Transportation Improvement Program (TIP).

 Efforts are made to give the public an opportunity to have input in the transportation planning process.  A wide range of people, including agencies, community groups, individuals, and the media, are notified of the meetings.  The Municipal/County Planning Department provides the staff work for FLATS and is available to assist the public with transportation questions. 

For additional information on the TIP or the FLATS Long Range Plan, or if you would like to become involved in the transportation planning process by being placed on the FLATS mailing list, please call us at (843) 676-8600!  We look forward to hearing from you!
