QuickTicket replacing Commodore Card for free WeGo public transit benefit

All full-time and part-time Vanderbilt University students, faculty, staff and postdocs can ride WeGo local and regional buses, paratransit services and the WeGo Star free of charge at any time.

Starting July 17, the university is transitioning from using physical Commodore Cards to utilizing the "QuickTicket by WeGo" app or a physical QuickTicket card.

All users will receive a unique registration code sent to their Vanderbilt email address. The email will come from "QuickTicket by WeGo No Reply [email protected]."

Detailed instructions for setting up your "QuickTicket by WeGo" app or card account will be in the email with the registration code.

Implementation timeline:

  • Starting July 17, you can use the QuickTicket by WeGo app to ride WeGo anytime, anywhere on their buses or trains, after registering your account and activating the Vanderbilt University WeGo Ride program.
  • Physical Commodore Cards will be usable on WeGo services until you register your QuickTicket account or through Sept. 1, whichever comes first.

Key information:

  • You can only register for one option ("QuickTicket by WeGo" app or physical card); app and card accounts are not interchangeable. Users must pick one or the other.
  • Setting up your free "QuickTicket by WeGo" app account on your phone will make riding public transit simpler.
  • Free physical QuickTicket cards are available in the Card Services office for those who prefer that option. Users will be charged for replacement physical QuickTicket cards.
  • Transferring your QuickTicket account to a new phone is easy and free.
  • Visit vu.edu/bus for detailed QuickTicket account registration instructions and additional information on how to ride the bus, train or paratransit service.
  • WeGo Access paratransit service will continue to be free for eligible VU faculty, staff and students with a qualifying long-term, short-term or permanent disability needing door-to-door transportation within Davidson County.

Commute Concierge services are available, including bus and train commute planning. Please email [email protected] with any questions or if you need a new QuickTicket registration code.

Vanderbilt's campus has been carbon neutral since 2021, decades ahead of its original goal. This benefit is one of many efforts across the university to continuously reduce its carbon footprint. Learn more about other sustainability-related transportation and mobility initiatives on campus.
