Due to inclement weather, Nashville MTA buses and vans are operating on snow route detours. Snow routes are for routes that need to use a detour to navigate safely during inclement weather. Buses will operate on all MTA routes that have weekday service even if a snow route detour is not listed for a particular route. However, MTA operations supervisors can implement additional detours due to other unexpected hazardous conditions.
Customers eligible for MTA’s AccessRide vans may continue rescheduling or booking new reservations for medical trips such as dialysis. Priority services will be provided for these types of emergency AccessRide trips.
MTA operations supervisors will evaluate roadway conditions and decide later in the day as to whether buses will remain on snow route detours or return to regular service.
The Music City Star and Route 93 Music City Star West End Shuttle will operate as scheduled.
There may be some delays due to the icy roads. Safety is the top concern of both agencies, and the drivers are proceeding cautiously. Customers should watch for media alerts on local television stations, follow MTA on twitter @Nashville_MTA and the RTA on twitter @MiddleTN_RTA, or check out one of the available real-time tools featuring information from our Music City Transit Tracker system. Up-to-date information is also being posted on the nashvillemta.org and rtarelaxandride.com websites.
To find out how a specific route may be affected, passengers can view brochures detailing the snow route detours online, pick up brochures on the buses, at Music City Central, or in display racks in the downtown area. Customers also may call MTA Customer Care at (615) 862-5950 from 6:30 a.m. to 6:30 p.m. on weekdays, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Saturdays and 10:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. on Sundays.
