Adding Transit Centers and Upgrading Bus Stops
Along with service improvements, we'll be developing new Neighborhood Transit Centers.
These transit centers will serve as hubs where riders can purchase tickets, get out of the elements, and safely wait for their bus.
Located near Clarksville Pike and 26th Avenue North, a new North Nashville Transit Center will serve multiple WeGo routes, bicycles, pedestrians, and other modes of transportation.

Another neighborhood transit center is being built in Green Hills as part of Hillsboro High School's reconstruction.

The Better Bus Plan will include the development of neighborhood transit centers throughout the city, facilitating new connections.

To relieve congestion at WeGo Central, a second downtown bus station will be built in the SoBro neighborhood.
An investment in dedicated transit lanes on downtown streets will improve the speed and directness of service in, out, and through downtown.

The Mayor's Transportation Plan also includes the development of Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) on Murfreesboro Pike, Rapid Bus infrastructure upgrades for Route 22 Bordeaux, and improvements to the WeGo Star commuter rail.
Better Bus also includes new and upgraded shelters at busy stops across the city.
The Nolensville Bus Stop Improvement Project is one example of what we have planned.

In addition to improved stops, riders need improved sidewalks and crosswalks connecting to those stops.
This map shows crashes resulting in pedestrian injuries or fatalities are often located in areas with high transit ridership.
WeGo will continue to work closely with Metro Public Works on safety improvements along major transit corridors.
Madison Library Station
Dickerson Pike & Trinity Lane
Murfreesboro Pike near Thompson Lane
Nolensville Pike and Welshwood Drive is one of Nashville's most dangerous intersections for pedestrians. WeGo's two bus stops at this location are also among the busiest stops outside of downtown.
Metro Public Works recently installed a new traffic signal with crosswalks, making it safer for riders to cross the street.
Additional improvements to the bus stops are under construction .
