Mayor Freddie O'Connell picked the senior adviser to former U.S. Secretary of Transportation Pete Buttigieg to oversee the Choose How You Move plan.
The article from The Tennessean, published on April 18, 2025, discusses the proposed transit plan for Nashville, Tennessee, spearheaded by a former adviser to Pete Buttigieg. The plan aims to overhaul the city's transportation system by introducing a comprehensive network of light rail, bus rapid transit, and improved pedestrian and cycling infrastructure. The initiative has garnered significant support from local business leaders and environmental groups, who see it as a vital step towards reducing traffic congestion and improving air quality. However, the proposal faces opposition from some residents and conservative groups concerned about the costs and potential tax increases. The former Buttigieg adviser emphasized the long-term benefits of the plan, drawing parallels to successful transit systems in other cities, and expressed optimism about its potential to transform Nashville into a more sustainable and accessible urban center.
