THE 30-SECOND BRIEF
Horry County repealed the section of its code that earmarked $6.50 of the per-vehicle Road Maintenance Fee for public transportation, shifting mass transit operating and capital support to the RIDE 4 sales tax program approved in 2024. The RIDE 4 ordinance dedicates 5.45% of sales-tax revenue annually to mass transit operations and certain capital projects. This solidifies a sizeable, dedicated revenue stream for Coast RTA and related transit infrastructure, positioning upcoming bus, facility, and technology procurements under RIDE 4 rather than road fees.
Legal memo emphasizes ongoing county support and investment in mass transit via RIDE 4 revenues.

What is a pre-RFP?
A pre-RFP is an early indicator that a government agency is planning a purchase — a project discussed in a board meeting, a budget line item, a new hire, or a grant award — captured before a formal RFP or bid is published. Acting on pre-RFPs gives SLED and B2G vendors months of lead time to build relationships and shape requirements.

Pre-RFPs typically surface 6–18 months before a formal solicitation is published. Civic IQ tracks Myrtle Beach International Airport's meeting records, agendas, and budgets continuously and updates this pre-RFP as the project moves through the buying cycle toward an RFP.
