Changing nashville commutes-education and outreach

The Tennessee Department of Transportation received a $100,000 Formula Grant award from the Department of Transportation Federal Highway Administration on July 1, 2021. The grant was awarded under the Highway Planning and Construction program (CFDA 20.205) to fund a project titled "Changing Nashville Commutes-Education and Outreach."

The project aims to reduce single-occupancy vehicle trips during peak commute hours in Nashville through education and outreach focused on significant downtown employers. It will provide commuting options and incentives to encourage non-single occupancy options. A sub-award of $TBD was provided to the Greater Nashville Regional Council Area Agency on Aging to support these outreach and education efforts directed at changing commuting habits among Nashvillians traveling downtown.
