The TMA Group

Franklin’s public transportation system consists of vintage-styled trolleys which harkens back to the original vehicles used for the Franklin Interurban service. The Franklin Trolleys are state-of-the-art vehicles operating on clean-burning bio-diesel fuel. They have heating and air conditioning systems to keep you comfortable during travel. All trolleys are linked to satellite advance vehicle location systems for efficient, on-time routing to get you where you want to go, when you need to be there.

The Franklin Trolleys were the first new transit system in the State of Tennessee since 1986 and the first in Williamson County since the mid-1980’s. Originally, the electric-powered rail service, the Franklin Interurban, ran from Franklin to Nashville from 1909 to 1941. In 1942 a conversion to gasoline-powered buses was made and the operation ceased in 1969.

The Franklin Transit Authority is managed by The TMA Group for the City of Franklin, The TMA Group is a public-private partnership committed to providing environmentally friendly, affordable, reliable, and safe mobility options for Middle Tennesseans.
