Provide funding for the construction of the antioch transit center

The Federal Transit Administration awarded the Nashville Metropolitan Transit Authority $6.25 million on July 20, 2026, under the Buses and Bus Facilities Formula, Competitive, and Low or No Emissions Programs (CFDA 20.526) to construct the Antioch Transit Center.

The transit center will be built in the parking lot of the Southeast Community Center at 5252 Hickory Hollow Parkway in the Antioch neighborhood of Nashville, Tennessee. The project will replace the current Hickory Hollow/Global Mall terminus—a single small shelter with no waiting areas—with a full transit center that improves state of good repair for transit amenities in Davidson County and establishes a sense of place appropriate to the transit system's highest-ridership route. The project serves the populace and visitors of Davidson County.

Performance extends from the award date through March 30, 2036. No sub-recipients are involved in this award.
