KAT Electric Bus / Charging Infrastructure Tour
The Knoxville Area Transit (KAT) team will showcase Knoxville’s new electric bus infrastructure. Participants will ride a KAT bus to a charging station while transportation officials describe the logistics and numerous benefits of this investment in sustainable mobility.
With their zero-emission drive, this fleet operates with 100% electric propulsion. Each electric bus helps us prevent nearly 300,000 pounds of greenhouse gas emissions in our community annually. That's like planting 2,283 trees.

South Waterfront / Sevier Ave. Redevelopment Bike Tour
This tour will view progress along the Sevier Avenue corridor, including new developments, and an ongoing streetscape project. Highlights include: the beautiful new Suttree Landing Park, greenways, new boat launch and pavilion, all from the seat of your E-bike or E-scooter! This tour will cover roughly four miles.
Much of the development was spurred by The Knoxville South Waterfront Vision Plan, adopted in 2006. The Vision Plan describes a long-term improvement strategy for an approximate 750-acre area fronting the 3-mile shoreline of the Tennessee River, directly south of downtown Knoxville and the University of Tennessee-Knoxville.
