Assistant Metropolitan Attorney 2 - CHYM

This Non-civil service position located within the Department of Law will perform legal work for the Metropolitan Government and provide counsel to the Choose How You Move (CHYM) Office), specifically related to infrastructure project delivery. Typical issues include compliance with municipal, state, and federal law specific to transit, infrastructure, capital project delivery, right-of-way acquisition, and contracts and procurement.

CHYM, approved by 66% of voters in 2024, is Mayor O'Connell's transportation improvement program and the largest capital program in geographic scope and scale to be undertaken in Nashville's history. Implementation of the $3.1 billion in CHYM capital projects requires extensive collaboration among multiple Metro departments, project managers, and vendors; coordination of $111 million worth of annual operating expenditures; and robust engagement with neighbors. CHYM will transform how people move around the city for decades to follow.

CHYM includes installation of smart signals at nearly 600 intersections. It adds 24/7/365 transit service and builds 54 miles of high-capacity transit with more frequent, reliable, and accessible service. It builds 86 miles of sidewalks to ensure Nashville completes the WalkNBike Nashville priority sidewalk network and connects our busiest neighborhoods to major transit routes. The program makes safety improvements on 78 miles of the Vision Zero High-Injury Network, creating safer streets for pedestrians, bicyclists, drivers, and transit users alike.
