Community Feedback Will Shape Future of First of Twenty New Transit Centers Identified in the nMotion Strategy 

Nashville, Tenn., (May 13, 2020) – Community members are invited to meet the WeGo Public Transit team, learn more about the North Nashville Transit Center project, and provide feedback at a community meeting on May 22. The event will include discussion on the impact of public transit, how community members would like to interact with new planned services, and how WeGo Public Transit can best serve Nashville residents now and in the future.

The planned North Nashville Transit Center will be a safe and friendly location for community residents and transit passengers to access transit and to comfortably and conveniently transfer between routes and modes. It includes pedestrian and bike access, car and van pool pick-up, and car and bike sharing options. The new neighborhood mobility center is designed specifically to create and enhance multimodal transportation options and connections in North Nashville, improving access to jobs, health care and other services. Nearly 22 percent of residents live in zero-vehicle households; the highest percentage of transit-dependent residents in the Nashville MSA and substantially higher than the U.S. average of 7.9 percent.

The North Nashville Transit Center will be the first of over twenty Nashville locations identified in the nMotion strategy.
