The changes will go into effect on January 3, 2027. Service changes are funded by Mayor Freddie O’Connell’s voter approved Choose How You Move transportation improvement program.

"Every WeGo service expansion funded by Choose How You Move brings us one step closer to a system that works for all of us," said Nashville Mayor Freddie O'Connell.
