A new transit center is in the works for Donelson. Think of it as a hub where several bus routes connect, helping riders make easier transfers. In Donelson’s case, it will also link up with the WeGo Star.
Planned features
Six bus bays with covered waiting areas
A climate-controlled waiting room
Bike racks + micromobility docks
Rideshare pickup and drop-off areas
Railroad quiet zones to minimize train horn noise
Improved vehicle and pedestrian access to Donelson Pike with a new traffic signal
The transit center will be built on part of the existing Donelson Station site, and the park-and-ride facilities will remain open during construction. Public meetings are scheduled for Monday, March 30 and Tuesday, March 31 at NPL’s Donelson branch.
Where will future transit centers open?
According to the Choose How You Move plan, 11 more transit centers of varying sizes may be funded by 2032, with SoBro, Antioch, Madison, and Bellevue among the proposed locations.
