A NETWORK BUILT TO GROW

MORE STOPS.
MORE PLACES.
MORE NASHVILLE.

PROJECT OVERVIEW

THE LOOP,
CLEARLY EXPLAINED.

A practical guide to how the proposed system would work, how it could expand, and what still has to happen.

01

HOW DOES IT WORK?

Electric vehicles would carry small groups through dedicated underground tunnels, traveling directly between selected stations.

02

WHERE DOES IT START?

The publicly described first network links BNA, downtown, Lower Broadway, Capitol Hill, and the West End corridor.

03

HOW CAN IT GROW?

Additional branches and stations could be added as neighborhoods, venues, employers, and private properties join the system.

04

WHO FUNDS IT?

The Boring Company says construction and operation will be privately funded, with public approvals still required.

05

WHAT IS THE GOAL?

A point-to-point network designed to reduce surface congestion and make trips between major Nashville destinations more predictable.

06

WHAT COMES NEXT?

Engineering, environmental review, permits, station agreements, construction, testing, and future route announcements will shape the final system.
