Choose How You Move

Sidewalks, Signals, Service, Safety

Choose How You Move is Nashville's voter-approved plan to modernize transportation and give everyone safer, more reliable ways to get around. In November 2024, Nashvillians voted to create dedicated transportation funding for the first time in the city's history — turning years of community input into real action. Now, implementation is underway, delivering practical investments in safety, reliability, and access that work for everyone, whether you walk, roll, ride, bike, or drive.
