The South Carolina Transportation Infrastructure Bank (the Bank) invites the submission of applications from local governments (project sponsors or owners) for financial assistance for transportation projects. All submissions will be considered upon the availability of funds and the open application period will be advertised on our website. The Bank will evaluate the applications and projects which are determined to be eligible and qualified based on the Bank’s application criteria (PDF), the Bank’s Operating Guidelines, the South Carolina Transportation Infrastructure Bank Act, and Act 275 of 2016. The projects approved for financial assistance by the Bank will be submitted for review and consideration to the SCDOT Commission and the General Assembly’s Joint Bond Review Committee.

Guideshare Information:

See the excerpt from Secretary Hall's letter dated August 15, 2019:

"...Guideshares may not be pledged by a MPO/COG or local government to satisfy the repayment or debt service requirements of a loan from SCTIB, without prior approval from SCDOT. This would not preclude a MPO/COG from partnering on a project as it would now through the commitment of a portion or all of its available Guideshares to directly cash fund a project as part of an overall funding package. The distinction that is being made is that the Guideshares may not be committed to the repayment of debt or project loan through the SCTIB."

The Bank will cooperate with SCDOT in its interpretations on the pledging of Guideshares.
