Plutonic Panda:
North Carolina and Tennessee are gonna have to come up with some pretty radical solutions. It seems like every time you hear about their funding situation always gets worse. Are there any current proposals to fix that?

Don't spend money when not needed.

completely toll I-24, I-65, and I-40 throughout the volunteer state. have express lane tolls around the urban areas if need be and have electronic tolls for the stretches. have satellite tolls for the rest.
either that or have some kind of extra tax on hybrid and electric vehicles, which i wouldn't recommend.

I could see express lanes working in Nashville if they are implemented correctly, but tolling the remainder of the interstates would be a non-starter. TDOT will hopefully be able to at least finish widening I-65 north from Nashville to Kentucky in the next 7 years or so.
Tomahawkin:
I think it's imperative for the Nashville area to have toll lanes simply to keep up with the growth and sprawl in the suburbs. Toll roads really help avoiding tie-ups during weekends and on Get-away days during the holidays. The Same issue is present in Arkansas because the state outlaws toll roads which is so backwards!
