The Tennessee Senate passed a bill last week that, if approved, would
broadly ban mass transit projects in the region, an anti-transit effort
thats gotten some help in the state from Charles and David Koch.
On Thursday, the Tennessee Senate passed SB 2243, which includes an
amendment that prohibits metropolitan governments and any transit
authorities created by a metropolitan government from constructing,
maintaining or operating any bus rapid transit system using a separate
lane, or other separate right-of-way, dedicated solely to the use of such
bus rapid transit system on any state highway or state highway. The
amendment is aimed at Nashvilles proposed $174 million rapid bus system
called the Amp, but would apply to any mass transit system proposed in
Nashville.
.
The Amp, a proposed 7.1-mile bus rapid transit system that would cut
commute times along one of Nashvilles major corridors, has been staunchly
opposed by the Tennessee branch of Americans for Prosperity, a lobbying
organization founded in part by the Koch brothers. AFPs Tennessee director
told the Tennessean that SB 2243 was the result of a conversation hed had
with the bills sponsor, Sen. Jim Tracy. In addition, AFP pushed the Senate
to vote on the bill??efforts that led to StopAmp.org, one of the lead
groups opposing the Amp, thanking AFP in a press release after SB 2243
passed the Senate. The transit systems opponents say it would create
traffic problems and safety issues due to its middle-lane location, a
claim that a spokesman for the Amp Coalition disputes.

The Senate basically took a local project that has been in development for
five years and voted an amendment to kill it, Schatzlein said. The project
is the first leg of a regional transit system, so this vote impacts all of
Middle Tennessee.
