Success Story
Nashville, Tennessee: School Zone Signage Made Possible
A small private school in east Nashville operated for six years without a designated school zone. Private schools in Nashville are required to pay for their own school signage, and this particular school had limited funds due to the population it served and the small number of students in attendance. Upon examination of the area surrounding the school, Music City Moves! made a simple recommendation in order to address speeding in the area. With a small portion of funds set aside for infrastructure improvements through grant monies, the Partnership was able to offer the school signage for a school zone, and helped arrange for Nashville Public Works to put the signage in place.
Music City Moves! and Walk/Bike Nashville have been serving low-income schools in the Nashville area for approximately 5 years now. The SRTS program was initially set into motion with funds from the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation’s, Active Living by Design grant.
