 Multi-year engagement will reduce congestion, improve traffic safety and strengthen neighborhood connectivity

Jacobs (NYSE: J) has been awarded a multi-year contract by the Metropolitan Government of Nashville and Davidson County’s Department of Transportation and Multimodal Infrastructure (NDOT) to deliver architecture and engineering services in support of the city’s transformative Choose How You Move program.

As a cornerstone of NDOT’s mobility strategy, the program spans more than 50 project types, from multimodal planning and traffic operations to infrastructure design, environmental compliance and community engagement. Jacobs will serve as a strategic consultant for planned improvements that will reach nearly every corner of the city, including the construction of 86 miles of new sidewalks to better connect Nashville’s busiest neighborhoods to major routes, and the modernization of nearly 600 traffic signals – the largest upgrade of its kind in the city’s history.

Jacobs Executive Vice President Tom Meinhart said: “Choose How You Move is a bold investment in Nashville’s future. Together with NDOT, we’re creating a more connected city where residents can access jobs, schools, parks and essential services safely, reliably and affordably, no matter how they travel. Our team brings the data, design and community insight needed to deliver infrastructure that expands opportunity and strengthens neighborhoods.”

Jacobs’ delivery model integrates real-time mobility analytics, including StreetLight Data, to inform the deployment of adaptive traffic signals to improve reliability, enhance safety outcomes and reduce congestion across high-demand corridors.

In addition to signal and sidewalk upgrades, the Choose How You Move program includes 54 miles of enhanced corridors and the introduction of dedicated transit lanes – advancing NDOT’s goals for safer, more accessible and multimodal mobility citywide. The program is part of Nashville’s voter-approved transit referendum designed to transform how the city moves, both physically and economically.

Jacobs is already active in Nashville through its ongoing work on NDOT’s Complete Streets program delivering integrated engineering and design solutions to improve pedestrian, cyclist and other infrastructure along key corridors, such as Dickerson Pike and Lebanon Pike, which are both listed on the city’s High Injury Network list and are top priorities to the city.

At Jacobs, we're challenging today to reinvent tomorrow – delivering outcomes and solutions for the world’s most complex challenges. With approximately $12 billion in annual revenue and a talent force of approximately 47,000, we provide end-to-end services in advanced manufacturing, cities & places, energy, environmental, life sciences, transportation and water. From advisory and consulting, feasibility, planning, design, program and lifecycle management, we’re creating a more connected and sustainable world.
