15-MINUTE DRIVE FROM SELECTED COUNTY SEATS<br />

SOURCE: NASHVILLE AREA MPO TRAVEL DEMAND MODEL, 2014<br />

On this map, the gray lines represent the distance along the roadway network that could be traveled from the center of each county seat during peak hours<br />

in 2010. The red lines represent the distance in 2040. A growing population in an area with limited options to widen roadways will have a negative effect<br />

on travel times. The Nashville Area MPO forecasts that total daily travel time will more than double between now and 2040 if we do not do more to provide<br />

better public transit options and walkable communities.<br />
