KNOXVILLE — Transportation planners and officials want to hear from you as they continue to update the region’s long-range transportation plan.
The Knoxville Regional Transportation Organization’s Mobility Plan 2050 survey will close soon. Those who live in and visit the area are asked to share input by Nov. 12.
The purpose of the project is to examine all modes of transportation in the Knoxville region and to recommend a strategic regional transportation investment strategy over the next 25 years. Planners and engineers are looking for strategies to continually grow and efficiently move around the city and region.
The regional transportation system involves roads, buses/transit, sidewalks, accommodations for bicycles and pedestrians, and freight movement (rail, waterway, or air). All forms of travel are included as part of this long-range planning update.
The Metropolitan Transportation Plan update will be developed in partnership with the Tennessee Department of Transportation, Knoxville Regional Transportation Planning Organization, Knox County and portions of Anderson, Blount, Loudon, Roane and Sevier counties.
