DESCRIPTION
The city & county mayors who govern the Nashville Area MPO Executive Board have invited Middle Tennessee residents to learn more about major regional transportation planning efforts and important changes to public policy therein, at “Community Conversations” - one held in each county of the MPO planning region. Members of the public were given the opportunity to hear an in-depth presentation and submit questions and comments on proposed infrastructure investments to support the overall livability, sustainability, prosperity and diversity of the region, as well as that of their individual counties of residence.

“I have traveled all over this country…and everywhere I go, people want better options. Options that offer reduced greenhouse-gas emissions. Options that offer reduced fuel-consumption. Options that offer better health. Options that bring communities together. Now, let me make this absolutely clear: I never said we would stop repairing, maintaining, and –yes– even expanding roadways. I said only that it's time to stop assuming that putting more cars on more roads is the best way to move people around more effectively.”
