q4 2024 quarterly route performance

A little graphic I made outlining some of the highest performing routes and highest growth routes from October – December 2024. The biggest thing that stuck out to me was the high productivity metric on the Route 34 Opry Mills. It's ridership is relatively low even among local routes, but its ridership has been steadily ticking up. It now carries nearly 19 riders per hour, the fourth highest productivity of any route. If that ridership continues to increase, we could see improved service from the currently hourly frequency.

license plate reader drama

There's been a lot of information swirling about license plate readers the last few weeks. Almost two weeks since Metro Council voted to approve license plate readers on third reading, there's some poetic justice found in the revelation that the new Tennessee license plates are invisible to LPRs at night. But whether they work or not, legislation was passed allowing them to be installed in public right-of-ways throughout Nashville. It was not surprising to see how the vote went but certainly disappointing. In a last minute campaign over the weekend proceeding the vote, Mayor John Cooper's administration was reportedly working the phones calling council members and whipping their support. Metro police chief John Drake and strangely the brand new NDOT director Diana Alarcon also threw their hats into the ring, releasing a statement urging council members to vote for LPRs. In that letter , Chief Drake made a claim that was pretty clearly false. Regardless of Chief Drake's...

At the Jan. 22, 2024, East Bank Committee meeting, Chief Development Officer Bob Mendes laid out a set of development milestones.

we've always done it this way

One of the biggest challenges I encounter in MNPS is this idea that "we've always done it this way!" It's an attitude that seems to pervade many of the daily decisions in the district, and sometimes is (accidentally) explicitly stated. I wasn't raised in Metro Schools, so I know that while MNPS may have always done it this way, other districts haven't. At Tuesday's MNPS Board governance committee, board member Emily Masters said something that gave me a little bit of hope that students' voices are being heard and changes can be made, even in a district like MNPS. In the clip below, Masters proposed a change to district policy around dress code to state that the dress code should be gender neutral and not contain gender-specific language, and that "Dress code enforcement shall be based solely on the guidelines, and shall not be based upon biases, gender norms, or gender assumptions." At the 30:28 minute mark, after adopting the changes, Ms. Ma...
