Connecting Transit and Development | Knoxville-Knox County Planning
Investment in connecting transit to housing and employment opportunities is an important strategy to reduce persistent poverty, expand housing opportunity, and maximize existing infrastructure in Knoxville.
 
Local Opportunities Areas

Knoxville-Knox County Planning, in partnership with KAT and the City of Knoxville, will develop a transit-based opportunities map that identifies both areas of low opportunity and high opportunity where mixed income development may be appropriate. The locations identified through this process will offer the best access to opportunities for high quality transit service and increase transit usage.

This project is possible because of a grant received by the City of Knoxville from the U.S. Federal Transit Administration (FTA) Areas of Persistent Poverty Program, which aims to increase transit in disadvantaged communities and reduce the impact of climate change.

Transit-Oriented Development (TOD)

In addition to creating a map that identifies areas appropriate for this type of development, Planning will also evaluate best practices related to Transit Oriented Development and make related recommendations.

TOD prioritizes efficient, sustainable development. It also helps reduce poverty and further benefit communities by:

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