On Monday, Tennessee Gov. Bill Lee signed that state’s Transportation and Modernization Act into law, providing the state with a new strategy to accommodate its record growth in its rural and urban areas.
The legislation will invest more than $3.3 billion to address traffic congestion and to meet needs across the state, legislators on both sides of the aisle said.
“As families and businesses move to Tennessee in record numbers, we need a transportation plan to keep up with the pace,” Lee said. “Our strategy will meet our state’s transportation needs across rural and urban communities without new taxes or debt. I commend the General Assembly for its partnership to prepare Tennessee for continued growth and economic opportunity.”
