NASHVILLE – WeGo Public Transit has scheduled more Journey Pass enrollment events. Journey Pass is funded through Choose How You Move and is Nashville’s first ever income-based fare-free transit program. Journey Pass gives eligible Davidson County residents free access to rides on WeGo Public Transit and makes travel easier and more accessible for people living on limited income.
WeGo has enrolled 5,250 Davidson County residents with three years of free transit access, providing more than 65,000 free rides, thus far. The 5,250 passes equate to $12.3 million in transportation aid over the three-year life of the passes.
SNAP recipients can show up at any of the events. Clients of Metro agencies listed should check the schedule to look for the proper date and location. All enrollees must present a valid photo ID indicating Davidson County residency. Separate events are scheduled by the Office of Homeless Services that will provide additional support for those enrollees. Homeless service providers should contact OHS for the schedule.
SNAP enrollees must provide one of the following as proof of eligibility from the Tennessee Department of Human Services (DHS):
An eligibility notice of decision (with certification or eligibility date; renewal date must not be expired) A verification/ certification letter from DHS (with certification or eligibility date; renewal date must not be expired) Access to the One DHS SNAP Benefits portal on your smartphone
