Increased service possible because of Choose How You Move
NASHVILLE – WeGo Public Transit is proposing increased service frequency on several routes, two new WeGo Link zones, and Access on Demand weekend service for its Summer 2025 service changes.
"The improvements chronicled here speak to exactly why we needed dedicated funding provided by Choose How You Move," Nashville Mayor Freddie O'Connell said. "With dedicated funding, WeGo is making routes more convenient and accessible, improving frequency, and improving weekend options around the county. In our standard budget process, the funding to make these improvements would have competed with all our other needs. Now with our long-range goals in mind, we can make transportation work for more Nashvillians."
“These service expansion initiatives are reliant on funding above and beyond our baseline budget requests. They would not happen without Choose How You Move funding being available,” said WeGo CEO Steve Bland.
An open public comment period on the proposed service changes will be held from March 12 through April 3. During this time, customers will be able to view the proposed changes, participate in meetings to provide comment directly to WeGo staff members, and submit feedback via mail, phone, and email as the agency works to ensure the proposed changes will meet the needs of the communities served.
