The Planning Division is responsible for the planning, development, and management of statewide transportation studies and planning tools that help guide the policies and programs of TDOT and its various divisions. The division identifies transportation needs by analyzing travel and safety data and engages communities to gather public input on transportation investments. Specific responsibilities include developing the planning division's statewide transportation plan, preparing corridor studies, collecting travel data, conducting feasibility studies, and coordinating metropolitan and rural transportation planning. The division is also responsible for GIS mapping and data visualization.

The Planning Division's mission is to actively plan transportation strategies that enhance safety, increase mobility, and promote economic development in Tennessee.
