StrIDe Youth Mobility Program
In partnership with the Mayor's Office, Metro Council, and Metro Nashville Public Schools (MNPS), the WeGo Public Transit offers StrIDe, an innovative program that provides opportunities for students to travel to and from school and other extracurricular activities via WeGo Public Transit buses and the WeGo Star from Riverfront, Donelson, and Hermitage Stations.
All MNPS students enrolled in grades 9 through 12 will be able to ride WeGo buses at no cost. Students in grades 5 through 8 who attend an out-of-zone school where they have no yellow bus service are eligible to participate in the StrIDe program during the school year with parental permission. Contact your middle school office for permission forms and eligibility information. This transit partnership works in tandem with regular MNPS bus transportation and is a privilege afforded MNPS students through the partnership.
High school students' MNPS ID cards serve as their school ID card, library card and WeGo pass. The cards are programmed to work on the fare boxes on all WeGo vehicles. Students should place their ID above the bulls-eye located on the fare box and wait for the box to beep. This sound indicates the card has been recognized, and the student will be allowed to board.
A new school ID card will be issued at the start of the school year and is non-transferrable. It is only valid for bus and train rides on WeGo. Students will be issued student ID cards at their respective schools. Cost to replace a lost or damaged card is $15 and can be obtained from their school. Students will be limited to three replacement cards per semester.
Students utilizing this service must follow the MTA Code of Conduct or face revocation of WeGo bus transportation privileges. The Code of Conduct is posted at WeGo Central and online.
