Nashville International Airport Reconfigures Ground Transportation Center

New process promotes efficiency, streamlines operations and alleviates curbside congestion

WHAT: Nashville International Airport® (BNA®) has reconfigured its Ground Transportation Center (GTC) as part of building a world-class airport for a world-class city.

Starting 12:01 a.m. Tuesday, June 3, 2025, ride-share passenger drop-offs will occur in the GTC, alleviating curbside congestion and increasing terminal roadway capacity. Ride-share passengers leaving the airport will continue to be picked up at the same location in the GTC, adjacent to where ride-share drop-offs will take place with the new configuration. 

In addition to benefiting from improved terminal roadway flow, ride-share drivers may opt-in to receive an instant rematch. This allows drivers to accept a new ride request immediately after drop-off and pick up a passenger inside the GTC without having to exit the facility, helping them maximize their earning potential and expediting pick ups for passengers.  

It takes less than 5 minutes to walk the short distance from the GTC to the Grand Lobby in the terminal. Travelers utilizing ride-share services to BNA are encouraged take this brief walk into consideration when making plans for when to request their ride-share driver to drop them off at BNA. 

These upgrades play a vital role in BNA’s broader long-term infrastructure plan, designed to enhance airport accessibility, efficiency and overall traveler experience. 

The improvement of roadway and curbside capacity was developed in conjunction with the Terminal Access Roadway Improvement (TARI) program, a key program under New Horizon – BNA’s growth and renovation plan.
