Pee Dee Regional Transportation Authority is a public transit provider in Florence, SC. Founded in 1974 as the first regional transportation authority in SC, it serves the six counties of the Pee Dee region: Chesterfield, Darlington, Dillon, Florence, Marion, and Marlboro. The organization provides fixed-route bus service, ADA complimentary paratransit for riders with disabilities, deviated fixed-route paratransit, commuter bus service, and demand-response door-to-door trips. It also offers individualized travel training for new riders. With 44 active routes and over 1,000 daily passengers, the authority has operated for more than 51 years, initially serving participants in federal job training programs before expanding to the general public.
The agency operates a mobile app available on both the App Store and Google Play, which allows riders to purchase tickets, track bus arrivals in real time, and view route schedules. Fixed-route services run on predetermined schedules with designated stops, while paratransit and demand-response services provide flexible, call-ahead options for those who cannot use standard routes. The authority is committed to fair and equitable service distribution under Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, ensuring access for all residents regardless of race, color, national origin, or language proficiency.
The office is located at 313 S Stadium Rd in Florence, SC.
As the longest-serving transit authority in the state, Pee Dee Regional Transportation Authority remains the primary mobility link for work, school, and daily life across the Pee Dee region.
