Tennessee’s governor and speaker of the House of Representatives are promoting a plan to bring the state its first toll lanes, that they have deemed “choice lanes.”

Gov. Bill Lee, a Republican, unveiled a “Transportation Modernization Act” earlier this month as a way to address “traffic congestion and meet transportation needs across rural and urban communities.”
