The two-day Virtual DC Fly-In, which happens every year with a variety of local, state, federal and military officials, had two major themes this year – transportation and military. Even with the shift from in-person to virtual this year, our delegation was able to meet with key leaders at the Coast Guard, Federal Transit Administration (FTA), Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), Air Force and with our entire Congressional delegation.

This year’s DC Fly-In had two major themes: transportation and military.

Our delegation of 30 business, civic and government leaders convened in the Chamber boardroom on Thursday afternoon to meet virtually with key leadership at the FTA to lobby for funding for Lowcountry Rapid Transit (LCRT).

Our delegation met with key leadership at the Air Force and the Coast Guard, two branches of the military with significant importance to the Charleston region.
