NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WTVF) — As Nashville continues to try to improve how we all move around town, the US Department of Transportation has awarded two SMART grants to help NDot and WeGo upgrade two of our major pikes.
NDOT will get $10 million to continue its plan to make Nolensville Pike safer for pedestrians and cyclists using LiDar technology.
WeGo will use nearly 2 million dollars for tech upgrades to help buses run along it's busiest route: Murfreesboro Pike.
AI, automated vehicle location systems and adaptive traffic lights are all part of the plan.

A lesson in never giving up: Jack's story will have you believing dreams really can come true. It's so uplifting to hear those around him talk about his determination and then to see it rewarded. Not many teens would email coaches every week just to hear a 'no,' but Jack did. And eventually, it all pays off.
