The “Nashville Metropolitan Transit Authority” or Nashville MTA is the public transportation “bus system” serving the city of Nashville, “Tennessee-Davidson County”, and Tennessee. The bus system provides several transportation services and programs that benefit the riding public.

Nashville MTA AccessRide Program

The program is a paratransit service that is publicly funded. It operates “specialized” van services to people that have disabilities who aren’t able to utilize “regular” fixed-route buses. The program offers a “door-to-door” paratransit service inside Davidson County “1.5 miles” from standard bus route, excluding express or commuter service.

The personnel of AccessRide are directly accountable for certifying qualified paratransit riders; running ridership

accounts; scheduling rides; handling customer service; as well as other service responsibilities for the program.

Rideshare Programs

This Nashville MTA program includes various “ridesharing” plans that the “working” people can avail of. The different options under the Rideshare Program include “Free RideShare Matching”, “Van Pool”, “Guaranteed Ride Home”, “Parking Shuttles”, “Park-and-Ride” and “Custom Commuter Bus Pools”.

The “Free Rideshare Matching” is in partnership with RTA that provides assistance for individuals to find a suitable match for commuting, as well as routes of buses. The “Guaranteed Ride Home” program is for members of RTA van pool or carpool, where a rental car or taxi will be provided without expense in emergency events.

The “Van Pool” is a share-a-ride scheme, where fifteen people ride in an “MTA-leased van”. The monthly fee is low and one can save nearly 5,000 miles of their car’s “wear and tear” every year. Monthly fare is inclusive of insurance, maintenance costs, 24-hour assistance for emergencies, and the use of “back-up” vehicle.

The “Parking Shuttles” is a “morale booster” especially during wet or cold days.

It is ideal for employees who need to take a long walk to the office after they’ve parked their cars. With Parking Shuttles, the long walks are put to an end with a shuttle that takes employees directly to the office once they’ve parked their cars in designated parking areas.

The Nashville MTA provides a complete array of programs and services for riders. The regular routes of their bus system travel into/out of central downtown area, providing an easy access from one area to another with single transfer. They also have Snow Routes that are modifications of regular routes during bad road conditions. Their Youth Services Routes runs to carry students and are also available for the general public. Today, Nashville MTA continues to serve the riding public with convenient routes and excellent program options.
