In 2022, the Nashville Department of Transportation and Multimodal Infrastructure was awarded a grant under the Congestion Mitigation and Air Quality Improvement Program to develop a fully functional Traffic Management Center.
With the implementation of the Traffic Management Center, Nashville Department of Transportation and Multimodal Infrastructure will be creating an entirely new section within the Department whose sole responsibility will be monitoring and managing the flow of traffic throughout the network of surface streets within the Metro Nashville and Davidson County boundaries.
The Traffic Management Center will become the foundation to Metro Nashville’s smart mobility initiative and will act as the nerve center for the future of automated and responsive multi-modal transportation systems.
Objectives
The Traffic Management Center at the Nashville Department of Transportation and Multimodal Infrastructure will improve:
- Road users’ safety and mobility
