Nashville connector: transportation demand management program

The Tennessee Department of Transportation received a $1.16 million formula grant award on January 25, 2023 from the Department of Transportation Federal Highway Administration under the Highway Planning and Construction program (CFDA #20.205).

The grant funds the Nashville Connector's Transportation Demand Management program, which aims to reduce single occupancy vehicle trips and congestion in the Nashville region through commuter engagement, employer services and education, and development services. Specifically, the funding supports administration of the Nashville Connector program, including salaries, staff meetings, and development.

A sub-award of $1.16 million was provided to the Metropolitan Government of Nashville and Davidson County (doing business as the City of Nashville) to continue delivering transportation demand management services established in 2018 through the Nashville Connector program. This includes reducing single occupancy vehicle trips and improving air quality in the region through commuter engagement, employer services and education, and development services.
