Transportation funds should include money for mass transit projects for the Nashville area to compete with other regions for good jobs... "We've gotten behind the curve," said the mayor, noting he'd like to see this area offer options such as light-rail and rapid buses with dedicated lanes that he's seen while visiting Denver. "It's just fantastic."

---Putting liberal hat back on---
A lot of Denver's transportation dilemma is getting more people out of their cars which I assume will happen over time. Part of that's a first mile/last mile issue and partly it's just changing the culture.
Additionally I see loads of opportunity for increasing density along the transit corridors in addition to the city core.
