Graduation News

From the Charleston County School District:

The Charleston County School District released the following statement about the parking situation at the Coliseum for graduations:

Due to the construction of a parking deck at the North Charleston Coliseum property, there will ONLY be a maximum of 1700 parking passes at any given time for ALL of the PAC and the Coliseum. If your family or friends do not have a ticket for the North Charleston Coliseum or PAC parking lot, and cannot find a place to park near the Coliseum or PAC (space is limited due to the construction of a new parking garage there), Charleston County School District is providing a space for overflow parking.

It is located near the corner of Montague Avenue and Dorchester Road; the entrance to the lot will be off of Montague, across the street from Thrifty Car Rental. Signs directing traffic to the site will be located along International Boulevard and Montague Avenue. Volunteer attendants will be on site to direct parking, and multiple shuttles will run on a regular basis (about every 15 minutes) to transport everyone who parks there to the Coliseum, and back to the parking lot when the ceremony is over.

This lot and shuttles will be set up to start at least one hour before each graduation ceremony that would require overflow parking. The shuttles will continue for one hour after each ceremony is complete that would require overflow parking. There will be handicapped accessible transportation.
