Nashville hits 10,000 free bus passes

Mayor Freddie O'Connell's Choose How You Move program has registered 10,000 economically disadvantaged residents for free bus passes.

Why it matters: The journey pass is a key early initiative under Choose How You Move, the sales-tax funded transportation plan.

• Residents who receive assistance from Metro social service programs are eligible for the free passes.

By the numbers: The journey pass generated 1.03 million total rides since it launched last year.
