Middle Tennessee Connected - Regional Transportation Plan

Core Strategies The transportation issue is too big and complex for any one organization or governmental agency to solve alone. To achieve the transportation goals identified in the Plan, the region will need to work together across jurisdictional boundaries, economic sectors, and political persuasions to deploy a diverse array of strategies to address existing and emerging challenges.

The Plan identifies several strategies and actions that can be put to work over the coming years.

Adopt a Fix-It First Approach that Reinvests in Existing Infrastructure

Encourage a Combination of Projects, Incentives, and Regulations to Reduce Transportation Costs for Freight Carriers, and Minimize the Impacts of Heavy Truck and Rail on the Urban Core and Surrounding Communities

Focus Short- and Mid-Term Investments on Complete Streets and the Deployment of New Technologies to Improve Safety, Traffic Operations, and Traveler Information
