University of Tennessee Knoxville (UTK) Parking and Transportation offers commuter solutions for faculty, staff, and students to encourage the use of active and alternative transportation methods. We also partner with Smart Trips operated by the Knoxville Regional Transportation Planning Organization (TPO).
- T Bus Transit System – connecting across the campus and into neighborhoods to reduce the need to drive to campus
- Knoxville Area Transit (KAT) – local transit agency with stops next to campus. In addition, three programs specifically benefit the UTK campus:
- KAT Trolley – Orange line FREE trolley with service through campus to hub area downtown
- Discounted Student Semester Bus Pass
- Football Service Options – Hundreds of Vol fans use public transit to get to the game and back home
- Bicycling – Hundreds of bike parking spaces; both indoor and outside, designated bike lane, shared road markings, Bike Shop at UTOP, and related training and exhibiting to encourage biking on campus
- Micro mobility – Electric scooters and bikes are available for rental in partnership with the City of Knoxville master agreement. Click here for eScooter and eBike FAQs and Electric Scooter Do’s and Don’ts
- Bus to West TN – Shuttle provides holiday and break bus service at a nominal cost for students to travel to middle and west TN and is coordinated by the Dean of Students.
While these programs do not generate revenue, they help reduce the demand for parking and associated parking costs.
