The City of Knoxville's recent workshop focused on a transit support and development study aimed at enhancing local corridors. The presentation highlighted plans to increase density and activity along both major and minor corridors, utilizing funding from the Federal Transit Administration's Areas of System Poverty grant.

During the meeting, officials expressed gratitude for the efforts of the operations team, noting an impressive on-time performance rate of 86% for the month, with aspirations to reach 90% soon.

Additionally, a household travel survey was announced, conducted in partnership with the Tennessee Department of Transportation and the University of Tennessee Transportation Research Center. This scientific survey will randomly select participants to track their travel for a day, with letters being sent out starting August 7. The survey aims to gather data during the school year to ensure accurate representation of travel patterns. The goal is to collect responses from 3,000 individuals across the region.

Overall, these initiatives reflect the city's commitment to improving transit infrastructure and understanding community travel behaviors.
