Maria and I are saddened by the tragic loss of Cathy Sims, who faithfully served Tennessee as a member of the @myTDOT team.

Flags at the State Capitol building will fly at half-staff in remembrance of Cathy, and we join Tennesseans in praying for her family, friends, and the entire TDOT team during this difficult time.

For the first time in Tennessee history, the state budget includes dedicated recurring General Fund dollars for transportation. The unprecedented $80 million in recurring and $1 billion in non-recurring dollars will allow TDOT to accelerate, leverage, and add new projects and fund additional maintenance.
