On October 25, 2012, the Metropolitan Planning Commission (MPC) voted 9–0 to approve several housekeeping amendments to the Major & Collector Street Plan (MCSP) addressing changes proposed with the Antioch–Priest Lake Community Plan Update. 
The community planning process revealed the need to amend a number of the area’s major and collector street designations, so the MCSP policies coordinate with the new policies proposed in the Antioch–Priest Lake Community Plan: 2012 Update and amendments to the Southeast Community Plan: 2004 Update and the Donelson–Hermitage–Old Hickory Community Plan: 2004 Update. Certified copies of the amendments will be posted soon; draft changes as approved by the Commission are posted below.

The future transportation network in Metro Nashville-Davidson County is guided by Mobility 2030, one of the functional plans of the General Plan. Mobility 2030 outlines the broad principles and strategies for improving transportation in Nashville-Davidson County. Its component parts (plans for transit, sidewalks and bikeways, and streets) give specific guidance on how to improve individual streets.
- Land use and transportation are comprehensively addressed through the guiding principles and strategies of Mobility 2030. All transportation improvements should:
- Create efficient community form. Infrastructure should improve the movement of people and goods safely to destinations.
- Offer meaningful transportation choices. Options for pedestrians, cyclists, transit users and drivers.
- Sustain and enhance the economy. Transportation improvements can be used to generate economic development and/or sustain property values.
- Value safety and security.
- Protect human health and the environment.
- Ensure financial responsibility.
- Address transportation from a regional perspective.
Mobility 2030 has component plans that guide transit, street, bicycle, and pedestrian infrastructure investments.
