ONE CITY
That is More Mobile, More Affordable, and More Accessible!
Now is the Time
Nashvillians Asked, We Answered.
More than 66,000 pieces of community input from across 70+ plans and studies over the last decade all show that Nashvillians want less traffic with faster, more reliable and more affordable trips, no matter where, when, or how they choose to travel.
Green Lights for Nashville
With Nashville’s current growth, traffic has gone up and affordability has gone down. The proposed improvement program would reduce traffic congestion, along with the transportation costs associated with more time on the road, and expand alternatives for getting where you need to go.
How it's Funded
Choose How You Move proposes a half-cent sales tax increase in Davidson County to fund the improvements to reduce congestion and modernize Nashville’s signals, sidewalks, service, and safety to better handle the needs of the city we have become.
-
The increase for the average household is estimated to be about $6 a month, or $70 a year, while decreasing the burden of transportation costs day in and day out.
-
The majority of the revenue from the sales tax increase will come from tourists and commuters into Davidson County, not residents.
-
This funding would provide over $150 million per year in new local revenue for transportation.
-
The sales tax surcharge unlocks up to $1.4 billion in federally matched funding.

VOTE FOR NASHVILLE ON NOVEMBER 5!
Early voting starts October 16.
In early 2024, Mayor O’Connell unveiled plans for a transportation improvement program called Choose How You Move. Choose How You Move – An All-Access Pass to Sidewalks, Signals, Service, and Safety builds upon more than 70 plans and studies conducted by the city over the last decade eliciting more than 66,000 pieces of feedback from Nashvillians.
It’s time to choose how we move, Nashville.
On November 5, 2024, Nashvillians will have the opportunity to come together and vote FOR our city’s collective future. This measure aims to modernize our city and build a transportation system that connects Nashvillians with affordable, reliable transportation options.
As the name suggests, this initiative recommends transportation improvements across Nashville in four transit-related areas: Sidewalks, Signals, Service, and Safety.
