Good morning, Murfreesboro.

Nearly 25,000 auto accidents have been reported in Rutherford County in 2025 with speeding as a leading factor—ranking first in 2022 and 2023 and dropping to third in 2024—while the Tennessee Department of Transportation paused construction lane closures for Labor Day weekend with work set to resume Tuesday at 6 a.m.

On Friday morning, Murfreesboro Fire Rescue and Police responded to a crash on NW Broad Street near Van Cleve Lane — a collision between a car and a motorcycle near the railroad tracks that caused injuries and delays while investigators examine the cause.

Today, the Murfreesboro Fire Rescue Department launched Community Connect—a secure, citizen-driven platform that lets residents and business owners share vital safety information to help firefighters prepare for emergencies.

The system, which uses bank-level encryption, will improve response times by providing details like property layouts and medical conditions before crews arrive.

City officials and transportation leaders cut the ribbon for the new Murfreesboro Transit Center at 324 New Salem Hwy on Aug.

28—this facility with a passenger pavilion, maintenance building, and administration offices will open to the public on Sept. 8 to serve growing travel needs. The project was funded through TDOT IMPROVE ACT funds, federal dollars, and local matching funds and replaces the old hub at 222 W. Burton.
