(National telephone survey of 800 registered voters: 700 landline interviews & 100 cell phone interviews.)
Transit a Preferred Solution
nashvillempo.org
“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.”
– U.S. DOT Secretary Ray LaHood
U.S. DOT Responding to Public Demand

Music City Central Station
Land Use Issues:• Needed density/intensity increases must come from
high density office and residential redevelopment in downtown core.
• Will be driven by policy decisions (focusing high density regional employment and residential opportunities) more than land use decisions.
Station Context:
Urban Downtown Center, Regional employment destination
nashvillempo.org
Music City Central Station
nashvillempo.org
Saundersville Station
Land Use Issues:• Single-use categories – need to permit a mix of
uses adjacent to station
• Significant industrial and public facilities land uses limit TOD opportunities in station area
• Vertical mixed-use development not permitted
• New street connectivity will be needed to maximize access to station area
Future Land Use
Station Context:Suburban interchange with significant
industrial and institutional uses

The 2035 Plan Provides:
A bold, new vision for mass transit to communicate the region's intentions for the long-term;
Funding for upcoming corridor and circulator studies to layout more specific strategies to implement the vision;
A call to re-organize the existing RTA to take advantage of new legislation;
A call to establish dedicated funding for transit to improve operational capacity of existing agencies and to help build the vision;
$950 million in federal transit funds for the continued maintenance and modest expansion of urban transit, ridesharing, and vanpool services;
$30 million for continued support for the JARC and New Freedom programs;
10% of future U-STP for transit projects.

Funding/ Financing Issues
2035 Plan estimated to provide approx $4.9 B Federal The cost of NEEDS/ VISION is at least triple the
anticipated revenues Lack of dedicated funding for transit to ensure
stability and to compete for federal transit funds Sprawling land development pattern creates
unsustainable demand for infrastructure Declining fuel tax revenues and buying power means
fewer projects, slower progress, less benefit
