Tri Town Transportation Project

Wayne County was recently awarded funding for a CTPG Community Mobility Plan to develop a strategic, sustainable plan of providing transportation to all our residents to help alleviate the burdens preventing all age groups, regardless of social background, from accessing higher education, seeking, obtaining, and retaining employment, having reliable access to medical services, or simply visiting a neighboring community within Wayne County to shop, dine and take in the local scenery. The plan encompasses a study of a dedicated transportation route, either within the existing transportation system or as a stand-alone system, consisting of TN Hwy 13 and US 64/TN 15/ 641. Bus “stops” have been identified utilizing existing infrastructure in the heart of the cities of Collinwood, Clifton and Waynesboro. This project was formulated in the minds of our young adults in 2018 during a youth leadership summit consisting of thirty eleventh grade students. Their presentation and research were included in the grant application. These bright students spent hours researching and studying this project. During the summit, Melissa Halsell of TVA, walked the students through a community SWOT analysis and how they might address each of their top concerns. Lack of reliable transportation rose to the top as a major hurdle to accessing education, employment and in general, the feelings of a united community. These students were not only thinking of themselves but the needs of most of our resident population. We now request your assistance in further study of the feasibility and sustainability of Wayne County’s Tri Town Transportation (TTT) project through your participation in the community survey.

Good, reliable, and affordable transportation is crucial in every community. We are working to expand our transportation options in Wayne County. YOU can help us by completing the 3-minute survey. https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/movewayneco
