Who’s Eligible?
Journey Pass is intended to make transit easier and more accessible for people living on a limited income. The implementation of the program is happening in phases. In the first phase, which is underway now, Journey Pass is available to Davidson County residents who currently receive social services through select Metro departments and partner agencies. Implementing the program in phases allows WeGo to adjust operations as needed to handle increased demand, gather feedback from riders, and ensure the program is efficient, sustainable, and user-friendly before expanding to serve more people in 2026.
No additional documentation is required during this phase beyond verification of receiving services from a participating partner. This approach reduces barriers to access and ensures an equitable enrollment process. Current administering Metro partners include:
- Metropolitan Action Commission (MAC)
- Metropolitan Development and Housing Agency (MDHA)
- Metro Social Services (MSS)
- Metro Public Health Department (MPHD)
- Office of Homeless Services (OHS)
People receiving services from one of these Metro partners can sign up for Journey Pass at a scheduled outreach event. Once registered, you can ride for free on:
- WeGo local and regional buses
- WeGo Access (for riders with disabilities)
- WeGo Link (base fare only)
- WeGo Star
Note: Journey Pass does not cover WeGo Access On-Demand or Vanpool services.
The income threshold for future program expansion has not yet been determined; as recommendations are developed, your feedback is welcome by sending an email to [email protected].
