Case History

    This program aims to increase transit in disadvantaged communities and reduce the impact of climate change. Knoxville-Knox County Planning, in partnership with KAT and the city, will develop a Transit-based Opportunities Map to identify locations for development along key transit corridors that target attainable housing and employment opportunities. Transit-oriented development (TOD) prioritizes efficient, equitable, sustainable development. It also helps reduce poverty and further benefit communities by:

    • Encouraging greater transit use,
    • Reducing automobile use,
    • Maximizing existing infrastructure
    • Reducing emissions, and
    • Providing mixed and low-income housing options.
