Connect Mid-TN's Role

Purpose – Why does Connect Mid-TN exist?

Connect Mid-TN (CM-T) provides a forum for its member groups to coordinate their educational, engagement, and advocacy efforts. CM-T members share a vision of reliable, affordable, and diverse transportation options for all Middle Tennesseans. CM-T’s actions focus on near-term transportation access improvements, dedicated multi-modal transportation funding, and city- or region-wide policy reform.

Values – What does CM-T believe?

• Improved transportation options can create access to opportunity for all

• Effective decision-making requires inclusive outreach and community-wide participation

• Public and private transportation providers and their leadership should be held accountable to meeting the rapidly evolving transportation needs of Middle Tennesseans

• Transportation solutions in Nashville should anchor and align with broader regional improvements

• Streets and roads should be designed for all users, whether people on foot, on bikes, in public transit, or in private vehicles
