Committee clears resolution approving Metro Nashville bus‑lane grant, with amendment excluding bike lanes
Summary
The subcommittee amended and approved SJR0657 to endorse Metro Nashville's federal 'Choose How You Move' grant for bus‑only lanes; the amendment specifies the bus lanes will not include bike lanes and the resolution was sent to the full Transportation Committee 9–0.
Chairman Howell presented SJR0657, a resolution approving Metro Nashville's acceptance of a federal transportation grant under the 'Choose How You Move' program to create bus‑only lanes.
Howell said the grant requires General Assembly approval and that TDOT will retain oversight of any bus‑lane implementation. Committee members adopted a single technical amendment (drafting code 014567) that clarifies the bus lanes would not include bike lanes. Representative Wright moved the previous question and, with no objection, the committee opened the board; the clerk announced the resolution carried 9–0 and will go to full Transportation Committee.
