As part of Metro’s Open Data Initiative, established by Mayor Megan Barry's Executive Order #32 and affirmed by subsequent mayoral administrations, the Nashville Open Data Portal is the destination for the public to access Metro Government data in a new way. By publishing these datasets, Metro departments and agencies empower the public to partner with Metro Government. Through the Open Data Portal, we aim to co-create with civic technologists innovative web resources, insightful analytics on public programs and services, and new civic apps for the community.
