Since 2005, Belmont has offered free transportation to campus for students, faculty and staff thanks to a partnership with Nashville's Metropolitan Transit Authority (MTA). Any student or employee with a Belmont-issued ID card can ride to and from the campus without charge simply by swiping a Belmont ID through the magnetic strip reader on the top right corner of the bus's fare box when boarding. The university is then billed for the bus trips. In addition, Belmont offers free train transportation on the Music City Star rail system, operating from Lebanon to downtown Nashville's Riverfront Park. Both of these services are intended to improve the environment and relieve traffic congestion on campus. Click here for more information.
