In 2022, the Nashville Department of Transportation and Multimodal Infrastructure (NDOT) was awarded a grant under the Congestion Mitigation and Air Quality Improvement (CMAQ) Program to develop a fully functional Traffic Management Center (TMC).
The TMC will support transportation, mobility, and multi-modal transportation including pedestrian, bicycle, transit, and possibly parking. The TMC will also serve as a hub for regional traffic and crash data for Nashville. It will be integrated closely with other agencies in the region including Metro Nashville Police Department (MNPD), Nashville Fire Department (NFD), WeGo Public Transit, Office of Emergency Management (OEM), and Tennessee Department of Transportation (TDOT) to support those agencies and operate the transportation network in an integrated and coordinated manner.
The TMC is 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
NDOT has also established a set of seven objectives for the TMC. These were developed by NDOT prior to the TMC Concept of Operations and were confirmed to be the primary TMC objectives during stakeholder outreach performed as part of the Concept of Operations development. The objectives of the TMC include the following:
- Traffic Safety
- Traffic Operations
- Traffic Monitoring and Management
- Emergency Management
- Resource Management
- Record Management
- Information Dissemination
