NASHVILLE – The Regional Transportation Authority of Middle Tennessee (RTA) has approved a measure for WeGo to enter into a new contract with Anchor Transportation for regional bus service. It will go into effect on July 1, 2025.

The contract is to operate WeGo express bus service, including Route 87 Gallatin; Route 88 Dickson; Route 89 Springfield; Route 94 Clarksville; and Route 95 Spring Hill. No service changes are expected because of the new contract. RTA will collaborate closely with both the outgoing and incoming providers to ensure a seamless transition.

RTA anticipates that Anchor Transportation’s approach will enhance service reliability, improve rider confidence, and ultimately support increased ridership across the network. Anchor has more than 35 years of experience in contracted shuttle and charter operations, including more than 12 years of experience operating similar contracts with the State of Tennessee. The estimated 10-year contract value is $35,325,185.

This transition marks the conclusion of RTA’s longstanding partnership with Gray Line, which has provided regional commuter services for well over a decade. RTA extends its sincere appreciation to Gray Line for their years of dedication and service to our riders and communities. This change in bus operations does not impact the RTA’s existing agreement with Gray Line to lease facilities at Riverfront Station.
