Transit Month


what is transit month? 

This April, join Nashville Department of Transportation and Multimodal Infrastructure's TDM Program - Nashville Connector, WeGo Public Transit, and other partners in celebrating the busses, trains, and people that make up the Nashville transit system. During Transit Month, you can look forward to a region-wide Transit Challenge with prizes including giveaways of an e-bicycle and an e-scooter. Plus, transit focused events such as a WeGo Lunch & Learn, demonstrations for putting a bicycle on the bus and train at Riverfront Station, and our 11th annual Ticket to Ride Train Ride celebration.

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 of 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.

You can participate in Nashville Transit Month by attending one or more of the various events happening around the city, and also by joining the Transit Month Challenge on our RideAmigos app.
