Activities

		Integrated Analytics and Scheduling of Emergency Responders Under Uncertainty
		This project will use historical data to create models for various safety and emergency incidents across metropolitan Nashville, establish causes, and use this information to identify appropriate equipment requirements in different situations. This analysis will be combined with historical traffic and delay information to ensure the emergency vehicles are distributed at optimal locations and proactively maintained. During an incident a real-time decision support system will guide vehicle dispatch.

		Nashville Department of Transportation & Multimodal Infrastructure
		A department focused solely on transportation was a priority for Mayor Cooper during his 2019 campaign and was again recommended in the Metro Nashville Transportation Plan, adopted in late 2020 by Metro Council. The department recently received significant funding increases in both the 2021-2022 capital and operating budgets, with over $120 million in transportation related capital funding, and 42 additional positions added. With many cities moving toward independent local transportation departments, the advantages are clear: efficiency, sustained focus, and accountability. As Nashville continues to grow, building out a 21st century multimodal transportation network that prioritizes safety and equity will be key to maintaining quality of life for Nashville residents, and a department dedicated to these issues is essential to carrying out this vision.
		Metro Nashville Transportation Plan
		Metro Nashville’s Transportation Plan proposes core categories for investment that reflect our communities’ and the region’s stated priorities: Mass transit, neighborhood infrastructure (sidewalks, bikeways, greenways), a “state of good repair” for roads and bridges, traffic operations and signals, and safety/Vision Zero.
