COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) -Transportation Secretary Robert St. Onge scheduled a briefing Thursday morning for the agency's commissioners.
The DOT has struggled with cash flow problems over the past few months. The agency had to delay $24 million in resurfacing and other small projects funded by state gas taxes as it tries to build up reserves.
Some contractors complained this summer when the DOT had trouble paying contractors within its allowed window of 30 working days. The agency said a $52 million advance from the Federal Highway Administration allowed it to catch up.
