Keep tr your routes here. the right way to go Getting to school The Nashville MTA bus system is a great way to get to and from school. Most routes can even accommodate afterschool activities, so getting a ride home after practice is no longer a problem. And, MTA makes riding the bus safe and comfortable. Our friendly drivers are happy to help by answering whatever questions you may have. Youth Fares Youth fares (for riders age 19 and younger) are $1.00. However, Metro Nashville Public Schools (MNPS) students in grades 5 through 12 who have been issued a valid 2015-2016 school ID may ride without charge. If you are paying, please tell the driver you need the youth fare and pay with the exact change when you get on the bus or use an All-Day, 7-Day or 31‑Day Quest Youth Pass. If you plan to transfer to another bus, you will need to pay another youth fare of $1.00 or swipe your multi-ride pass. Where to BUY passes l Music City Central (MCC) 400 Charlotte Avenue l By Mail: MTA, 430 Myatt Drive, Nashville, TN 37115 l Online: NashvilleMTA.org Cash, checks, money orders and credit/debit cards are accepted to purchase fare media. See page 28 for a complete list of fares. the right to way In partnership with the Mayor’s Office and MNPS, the Nashville MTA offers a unique program that helps students get to and from school and other activities via an MTA bus. All MNPS students enrolled in grades 5 through 12 are able to ride MTA buses at no cost. Students in grades 5-8 must receive their parent’s permission to have their ID programmed for use on MTA buses. This transit partnership works in tandem with regular MNPS bus transportation. Each middle and high school student’s MNPS ID card serves as their school ID card, library card and bus pass. It is programmed to work on the fare boxes on all the MTA buses. Students should place their ID above the bullseye located on the fare box and wait for the box to beep. This sound indicates that the card has been recognized and the student will be allowed to board. A new school ID card will be issued at the start of each school year and is nontransferrable. It is valid for bus rides on MTA buses in Davidson County only. Students will be issued student ID cards at their respective schools. There is a charge to replace the card that will be collected by the school. go s Pas uth sted) y Yo e reque 7-D(I.Da. may b Jam ailey Be able gn er Si er s anSmsfer nif – non-tr ith Jen fundable T re ER nonINS e atur StrIDe Program Students utilizing this service should follow the MTA Code of Conduct. tom Cus the right way to go 1 How to plan your trip to school The best way to plan your route is to work backward from the time you need to get to school — that way, you’ll never be late! l Use the school listings on pages 7-14 to determine the route that serves your school.

In some cases, the driver may pull over and evacuate the bus at a building along the route and direct students to a safe place during the storm.
