The Engineering Department plans for the future infrastructure needs of the City of Franklin and consists of three divisions - Engineering, Traffic Operations and Stormwater.

The Engineering Division manages both City-funded and private infrastructure projects. The Engineering Division works with other City departments, TDOT, various utility providers, elected officials, and the public to ensure that our infrastructure is designed and installed properly and that it meets all local, state and federal standards and guidelines.

The Traffic Operations Division manages the transportation network within the City of Franklin. They currently oversee our Congestion Management Program, Traffic Count Program, Traffic Calming Program, and assist with both public and private infrastructure projects.

The Stormwater Division helps the City maintain compliance with mandates set by the federal (EPA) and state (TDEC) governments to minimize stormwater runoff pollution. Under the Clean Water Act of 1972, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) requires municipalities like Franklin to manage stormwater. The City has received a Phase II Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System (MS4) Permit from the Tennessee Department of Environment and Conservation (TDEC) to allow Franklin to discharge stormwater into nearby rivers and streams.
