Editor's Notes
- The Nashville Area Metropolitan Planning Organization, or MPO, is a multi-county association of local governments directed by a Board of city and county mayors from across the greater Nashville area who have a shared responsibility to help this region fulfill its goals for livability, prosperity, sustainability and diversity through strategic investments in transportation infrastructure. That includes investments in roads and bridges, but also walking, biking, and mass transit too. At its core, the MPO is responsible for two important tasks. ONE- to develop a regional transportation plan that sets forth a vision for how our transportation system will serve residents, businesses, and visitors over the next couple of decades; and TWO - to select projects and programs for federal funding. The MPO mayors, working closely with TDOT, are focused on funding projects and programs that are most beneficial to the region as a whole.
- Good News: We are trending in the right direction. (#22 in 2002, #18 in 1997).
- CEO for Cities Incorporates Land Use in Travel Time Calculations where TTI does not. Note: TTI is re-tooling their evaluation procedures to incorporate Land Use element in their analysis
- Note: Nashville’s Rank is Incorrect. Should be 34. (TTI, 2009 [Table 1 - What Congestion Means To You])
- Key Highlights The proposed Regional Bikeway Network serves to provide bicycle accommodations along major commuting corridors and corridors that connect communities, activity centers, transit, and major destinations throughout the region. Consists largely of on-street facilities but also includes the Cumberland River Greenway in Davidson County and the Stones River Greenway of Davidson & Rutherford Counties. The Regional Bikeway Network consists of 1,127 miles traversing the complete region, approximately 40% of the facilities exist today. All arterial roads within UGBs to get sidewalks. Total almost 1,000 miles and as of today approximately 24% are built.
