Transit Month 2024
what is transit month?
This April, join the Nashville Department of Transportation and Multimodal Infrastructure, WeGo Public Transit, and other partners in celebrating the busses, trains, and people that make up the wonderful transit system we all know and ride. During Transit Month, you can look forward to a region-wide RideAmigos Challenge with prizes, Ticket to Ride, Earth Day, and many more exciting, transit-themed regional activities.
Over the years through Transit Month, NDOT, WeGo, and other transit-focused agencies and organizations have reached hundreds of riders through events held across the city. Safety while using riding transit as well as the role up public transit in mitigating climate change is heavily discussed at Transit Month events. We aim to continue the conversation and raise awareness about the importance of keeping our city moving through transit during Transit Month.
