Commuter Close Up

News

This year’s Smart Trips Commuter Challenge promises to be our best yet!

Get on the Prize Trolley!
Things kick off June 1 with our first-ever Downtown Prize Trolley. It’s our take on the popular show Cash Cab. Between 5 and 8 p.m., look for the trolley with the Smart Trips banner, hop on and be one of those to answer a trivia question correctly to win prizes such as gift cards or Regal Cinemas tickets. Get the details.

In July, take a peek at our Window Display contest. During our fun, urban contest windows around downtown will be dressed up in their Smart Trips finery and you’ll have the chance to vote on your favorites! Interested in having your window in the contest? See details.

Active participants in this year’s Challenge will also have the opportunity to win other great prizes!

Introducing Smart Trips Neighborhoods!

Smart Trips has a new initiative to encourage biking, walking and transit instead of driving for short trips. Known as Smart Trips Neighborhoods, the program's first year targets areas in North Knoxville.

Smart Trips Neighborhoods has partnered with the Plus 3 Foundation, a charitable social network, so that each short trip in North Knoxville made and logged by bicycle, carpool, transit, or on foot will count toward donations of up to $1,000 each to Beaumont, Belle Morris and Christenberry elementary schools.
