TDOT will put toll roads on I-24 between Nashville and Murfreeboro, and I-65 between Nashville and Spring Hill.
But this isn't intended to improve traffic, and #TDOT offers no alternatives like buses or carpools. TDOT doesn't try to hide the fact that this is just about extracting money from drivers:
When #TDOT calls these toll sections "investments," they are really divestments—extractions of money charged on Middle Tennessee drivers. But those funds won't be used to improve Middle Tennessee roads or provide transportation alternatives. Instead, TDOT will reportedly use that money to pay for highways in other communities elsewhere in the estate that can't support the infrastructure cost.
For Middle Tennessee, these "choice lanes" (tolls) are not investment, they are extraction.
