Transportation in Nashville and Davidson County

transportationThe 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.
