  2. TODAY’S MEETING • Study Overview, Timeline, and Partners Involved • Transportation and Land Use Challenges, Concerns, and Opportunities • How to Stay Involved YOUR IDEAS

  3. Study Overview, Timeline, and Partners Involved

  4. OVERVIEW Participating Cities and Partner Agencies • Metro Nashville • Franklin • Brentwood • Thompson’s Station • Spring Hill • Columbia

  5. OVERVIEW Vision A safe and reliable rapid transit connection between Nashville and communities along the south corridor in Williamson and Maury counties.

  6. OVERVIEW Study Area Stretching nearly 35 miles from downtown Nashville into Maury County, the south corridor is one of nine major transportation corridors identified in the Nashville Area MPO’s Middle Tennessee Connected and the WeGo Public Transit nMotion Strategic Plan.

  7. OVERVIEW Study Outcomes • Advance Recommendations from nMotion • Inform GNRC's Regional Transportation Plan and Funding Priorities • Identify Capital Needs for Transit Providers • Recommend a Locally Preferred Alternative (LPA) • Identify Revisions to Local Plans / Zoning • Outline I-65 and SR 6 / US 31 Improvements • Help Site New Growth and Development

  8. OVERVIEW Potential Transportation Solutions • Intelligent Transportation Systems and Other Emerging Technologies • Roadway & Intersection Upgrades • Rideshare/Carpool • Conventional Bus • Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) • Light Rail Transit (LRT) • Commuter Rail • MagLev • Monorail • Personal Rapid Transit

  9. OVERVIEW Project Schedule FINAL Fall/Winter ROUND 1 APRIL ROUND 2 Summer/Fall Gather feedback on detailed evaluation of alternatives. Provide an overview of the study and an opportunity for you to share your input on transportation challenges and opportunities. Present initial evaluation of transportation options and discuss potential development scenarios around new transit stations.

  10. OVERVIEW Community Feedback to Date • Of those surveyed, a majority of people (99%) travel by car . • Almost half (48%) of commuters travel through the South Corridor multiple times a day (more than one round trip). • Over 60%travel from home to work and over 30% travel from home to entertainment and shopping. • People typically experience delays during the evening hours (83%) and morning hours (78%).

  11. OVERVIEW Community Feedback to Date • Over 60% of commuters experience delays in the I-440 area and Old Hickory Boulevard area. • 19% of participants use public transportation a few times a year. • People would use transit if there were more availability (82%) and faster speed (57%). • The preferred transit solutions so far are Light Rail (60%), Bus Rapid Transit and Commuter Rail (52%).

  12. Challenges, Concerns, and Opportunities

  13. CHALLENGES, CONCERNS, AND OPPORTUNITIES A Growing Region By 2040, the region will increase…

  14. CHALLENGES, CONCERNS, AND OPPORTUNITIES Current and Future Travel Times 80% single occupancy vehicles Franklin to Downtown Nashville minutes 29 minutes 59 Spring Hill to Downtown Nashville minutes 36 minutes 64  2010  2040 Spring Hill to Franklin minutes 20 minutes 36

  15. CHALLENGES, CONCERNS, AND OPPORTUNITIES Employment / Activity Centers • Downtown Nashville • One Hundred Oaks Mall • Brentwood Town Center • City of Franklin • Cool Springs • GM Spring Hill Plant • Columbia

  16. CHALLENGES, CONCERNS, AND OPPORTUNITIES Commuting Patterns • In the South Corridor, reverse commuting and suburban to suburban commuting is becoming increasingly more common as growth continues to expand throughout Middle Tennessee. • Trips related to recreation, shopping, or other activities, far outweigh the home to work and work to home trips that occur on a daily basis.

  17. CHALLENGES, CONCERNS, AND OPPORTUNITIES Roadway and Intersection Upgrades • The Interstate 65 Multimodal Corridor Study identified multimodal transportation improvements to address existing and future transportation deficiencies and needs along the Interstate 65 corridor in Tennessee.

  18. CHALLENGES, CONCERNS, AND OPPORTUNITIES Existing Transit Service WeGo Transit (including RTA) Franklin Transit/VanStar Mule Town Trolley
