NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WTVF) — Want to give your two cents about the future of WeGo Star services?

There are a final round of in-person meetings this month where you can share how you hope WeGo will improve.

  • Tuesday, July 16: 6:00 to 7:30 p.m. at Fifty Forward — 108 Donelson Pike, Nashville, 37214
  • Wednesday, July 17: 6:00 to 7:30 p.m. at City of Lebanon Administration Building, 200 North Castle Heights Ave., Lebanon, 37087
  • Thursday, July 18: 6:00 to 7:30 p.m. at Mt. Juliet Community Center, 1075 Charlie Daniels Pkwy., Mt. Juliet, 37122

WeGo Star is a commuter rail service that provides morning and evening commuter services to and from Lebanon and downtown Nashville. The idea with these public meetings is to identify how riders needs are changing, how population growth impacts the Star, find out what commuter and employer ride patterns are, and see how the pandemic impacted the Star's ridership.
Some questions they hope to answer —

What changes would you make to existing Star services?

How can the Star better serve your transportation needs?

What are the things you love about the Start service?

What kinds of things would you like to see in the future for Star service?

You can get updates on the project online, as well as a short survey, more information and presentation materials starting Tuesday, July 16.

Unique, affordable housing opening soon for youth aging out of foster care

Journalism is at its best when we can shine a light on an issue that needs more attention. Once again, Hannah McDonald does this beautifully by highlighting the hardships of teens aging out of the foster care system. I learned something new in her reporting and am inspired by the work I AM NEXT is doing to make a difference. I think you will be too!
