Nashville’s transit future is a top Chamber priority because improved multi-modal transit options are essential to our quality of place — particularly as Middle Tennessee’s population continues growing. We know we have to get transit right in our city and region if we want to continue thriving, and it’s important for the entire community to have buy-in.   

The Metropolitan Transit Authority (MTA) has announced nMotion2015, a new long-range strategic planning process that will build on the efforts of NashvilleNext. Public involvement is key to the success of this planning process.

MTA will host a series of community meetings to engage Nashvillians in the planning process; the first two meetings will both be held Tuesday, April 7. MTA CEO Steve Bland will provide an overview of the planning process, and will also gather community feedback to help define the values and guiding principles MTA can use to develop Nashville’s next-generation transit system.

We encourage employers and employees to get involved and provide your input for nMotion2015, particularly in this important first phase of defining values and guiding principles for MTA. We will keep you updated on nMotion2015 and other opportunities for involvement as this important process continues. Below are the locations, times and bus routes that serve the April 7 meeting locations.
