Editing Sumter, South Carolina (section)

==Mass transit==
The Santee-Wateree Regional Transit Authority (SWRTA) is responsible for operating mass transit in greater Sumter area. The transit department is in connection with Shaw Air Force Base. SWRTA operates express shuttles and a bus service serving Sumter and the communities within the county. The authority was established in October 2002 after SCANA released ownership of public transportation back to the City of Sumter. Since 2003, SWRTA provides transportation for more than 10,000 passengers, has expanded route services, and introduced 15 new ADA accessible buses offering a safer, more comfortable means of transportation. In recent years, SWRTA added natural gas-powered buses to its small fleet, and has plans to expand.<ref>[http://www.redorbit.com/news/technology/417328/rail_transit_study_meetings_this_week_public_invited/ Rail Transit Study]{{dead link|date=March 2018 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes }}</ref>
