The organization supported a downtown transportation tunnel in 2018. Its political relationships and competing transportation priorities deserve scrutiny alongside its criticism of Music City Loop.

MORE STOPS.
MORE PLACES.
MORE NASHVILLE.
The first routes establish a starting point—not an endpoint. New stations and branches could extend the network as neighborhoods, destinations, and private partners connect over time.

CLEARLY EXPLAINED.
A practical guide to how the proposed system would work, how it could expand, and what still has to happen.
Read the complete Music City Loop guideHOW DOES IT WORK?
Electric vehicles would carry small groups through dedicated underground tunnels, traveling directly between selected stations.
WHERE DOES IT START?
The publicly described first network links BNA, downtown, Lower Broadway, Capitol Hill, and the West End corridor.
HOW CAN IT GROW?
Additional branches and stations could be added as neighborhoods, venues, employers, and private properties join the system.
WHO FUNDS IT?
The Boring Company says construction and operation will be privately funded, with public approvals still required.
WHAT IS THE GOAL?
A point-to-point network designed to reduce surface congestion and make trips between major Nashville destinations more predictable.
WHAT COMES NEXT?
Engineering, environmental review, permits, station agreements, construction, testing, and future route announcements will shape the final system.
