Nashville, TN, August 3, 2026 — Nashville’s public transit system is broadening access to its fare-free Journey Pass program, enabling more Davidson County residents to utilize WeGo bus services without charge. The expansion, a collaborative effort between WeGo Public Transit and the Choose How You Move initiative, aims to increase mobility for individuals and families facing transportation barriers.

The Journey Pass program now accepts documentation from a wider range of assistance programs. These include the Housing Choice Voucher Program (HCVP), the Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP), Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF), TennCare Medicaid, and the Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children (WIC). This inclusivity is intended to make the program accessible to a larger segment of the eligible population.

Since its inception, the program has facilitated over 2 million rides for more than 12,500 eligible participants. The funding for the Journey Pass initiative is provided by the Choose How You Move transportation initiative, highlighting a commitment to accessible and sustainable transportation options within the county.

To support residents in enrolling, new registration events are scheduled to take place throughout the month of August. These events will be held at the Elizabeth Duff Transit Center, providing a dedicated location for individuals to complete their applications and receive information about the program. Further details regarding specific dates and times for these events are expected to be made available by the involved agencies.
