Transit Corridor Study
Due to worsening congestion and air quality issues, the TPO completed the Knoxville Regional Transit Corridor Study in 2013. This study assessed 12 corridors as areas for possible transit investment to improve mobility choices, improve air quality and enhance the quality of life.
The Knoxville Regional Transit Corridor Study assesses the need, and highlights a consensus for, capital investment in rapid transit service within a growing congested region between the City of Knoxville and Knox, Blount and Anderson Counties. The study also analyzes and ranks the general feasibility of several potential transit investments. Potential transit opportunities were developed to meet the transportation needs of this diverse study area. The study team sought opinions of stakeholders and study area residents to help guide the development of alternatives and gauge the support for additional analysis and advancement to a more detailed level of study.
