Mayor Freddie O’Connell is urging anyone who needs transportation to a warming station to call a city hotline as dangerously cold temperatures grip Middle Tennessee.
Residents who need a ride can call 615-401-1712 to request transportation.
Callers should be prepared to share their name, location, how many people need a ride, any special needs or mobility concerns, and whether they are bringing pets.

Here’s a beautiful story of how one mother turned her grief journey into a gathering of gratitude… and organ donation awareness.
Robb Coles highlights a special event organized by Cari Hollis – whose 26-year old son Austin died two years ago. Austin agreed to be an organ donor – and that single gesture saved multiple lives.
Cari reached out to as many recipients she could find – several of whom traveled to Nashville for an emotional celebration in Austin’s honor. One woman – whose life was saved by receiving Austin’s lungs – put it simply: “He’s my angel”.
