Reduced Service Schedule

Knoxville Area Transit is currently operating on reduced service schedules. However, we are returning some service back to pre-COVID levels on April 8, 2024. Please see below, and visit each individual route page to see the current schedule.

Bus Stop Changes

Effective April 8, 2024, in preparation for the upcoming KAT Reimagined new bus network, we are making changes to many bus stops. Please check your bus stop sign for a red sticker. If there is a red sticker, it will indicate if your stop is moving or discontinued, and if so, where the next closest bus stop on that route is located.

Knox County CAC

We wish to thank Knox County CAC for partnering with KAT to provide work-related transportation during our time of extreme service reduction.
