Research shows that eviction filings spike following weather-related emergencies, especially in states like Tennessee, with weak tenant protections. No one should lose their home because they were unable to work, access childcare, or safely live in their residence during a declared emergency.
We need a strong Nashville. One that builds a sustainable future for our children and prioritizes helping residents recover from natural disasters and the unexpected.
We are excited to co-create a vision with you and other community members! Let’s build a thriving city with good transit, affordable housing, childcare, affordable high-quality food, and more.
The transit plan is making a huge investment in our city. But don’t relax yet. There’s still more action, advocacy, and people power needed to bring the necessary transformation that we know is attainable.
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.

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.
