Description
The Tennessee Department of Transportation’s (TDOT) Multimodal Access Grant is a state-funded infrastructure program addressing existing gaps along state routes. It supports the transportation needs of people who walk, bicycle, or use transit, with the goal of providing more transportation choices across Tennessee.
The program recognizes walking, biking, and transit facilities as important to the continued growth and success of Tennessee’s towns and cities. TDOT notes that half of all trips in the United States are three miles or less, highlighting the importance of these options for short journeys. The program’s central focus is infrastructure that improves multimodal access along the state-route network.
