As we journey through this transit series, it is essential that we help you understand that the transit plan means more than buses, sidewalks, and traffic lights. Our city has the opportunity to do more – but will it? We can’t afford not to do more.
If done right, our city’s leaders and the designated developers can address crucial housing issues in a major way.
If done wrong, it could be business as usual in the city. And that’s bad business.
Take a ride with us as we breakdown what the new Nashville transit plan means for you.
Although every job fair, community meeting, or personal testimony can’t be fully captured in our 2024 End of Year Report – we have plenty of highlights from our power building strategies and undeniable impact.

Forty-three states and the District of Columbia collect revenue from individual income taxes – Tennessee is not one of them. While not paying income tax is a perk for people moving into Tennessee from states with an income tax, it’s obvious that the additional revenue could benefit local residents and Tennesseans.
Tax increases are political because they ask fundamentally political questions: “What services do we all want?” and “How do we pay for them?”
Metro Nashville operates on a structurally-balanced budget that requires every amount that comes in as revenue to go out as an expenditure.
Just like the budget is essential for your home, it is also essential for Metro Nashville residents. Even if they don’t even know it yet.
Did you know that everyday people like you can also use your voice and power to influence the city’s budget?
