Pass on the Parking
Once you experience the convenience and health benefits of riding your bike, carpooling, taking transit, walking or telecommuting to work, you’ll be ready to abandon that downtown parking pass and save hundreds of dollars a year.
Smart Trips will provide four free parking passes to any participant who cancels their downtown parking pass in favor of a leaner and greener commute—for those days when you absolutely have to drive to work. For more information, email smarttrips@knoxtrans.org

Smart Trips is here to help you become a mobile genius. We can help you find alternatives to driving alone, such as carpooling, taking transit, biking, walking and telecommuting to work. In the event of an unexpected change in your schedule, we’ve got you covered with an Emergency Ride Home. And to reward you for being so clever, we offer Smart Trips participants great perks in the form of prizes and Commuter Bucks. Enroll in Smart Trips, start logging your commutes, and instantly raise your I.Q.
But don't just take our word for it! Listen to what our participants have to say:
"This is such a great program. The progress my carpool has made recently is that we added a second hybrid to our group of three cars! Thanks again," Alan Sims
"Again, thank you. I have been a KAT rider for a year now and would hate to go back to driving and parking downtown." Pat Thompson |
