Transit Development Plan
Knoxville Area Transit is developing a short-range Transit Development Plan (TDP) to provide guidance for operational and capital changes over the next five years. In addition, with the pending opening of the new downtown transit center, Knoxville Station, there will be a variety of almost immediate changes to the downtown operations of the system. The TDP study focuses on providing short-term guidance to KAT as well as maintaining a perspective of a longer term vision. For more information about this study, visit the TDP website.
