As part of the People First initiative, the Charleston Metro Chamber is committed to improving economic mobility and quality of life in the region. Essential to this effort is the Government Relations team’s focus on advancing legislation that aligns with key priorities: attainable housing, education, transit, and childcare.

By advocating for policies addressing these critical areas, the Chamber aims to create a more equitable and prosperous Charleston region. "We are optimistic and excited about the opportunity to collaborate with our region’s elected officials to make meaningful progress that benefits all who call Charleston home," stated a representative from the Chamber. "Together, we are shaping the legacy for 2040."

The Chamber has highlighted legislative wins focused on transit as part of this initiative. Updates on People First Multi-Faceted Regional Transit System legislation will be provided as they become available.
