“There is something very freeing and nostalgic about riding a bicycle—it reminds me of my childhood—and you can't be plugged into anything, it’s just you (your helmet) and the bike hitting the pavement.” More >>

New Commuter Rewards Option Available
Participants can now choose gift cards from Just Ripe Co-op for their Commuter Rewards points earned after January 1, 2012. Gift cards earned in the first quarter of 2012 will be distributed the last week of April. Commuter Rewards Points Explained
Many participants have asked us to explain how the Commuter Rewards points work and why they don't just "zero out" at the end of each quarter. We realize this is a problem and are working with our software vendor to improve the point system and make it easier for all—including us!—to grasp. In the meantime, just remember that each trip made and logged between the beginning and end of the quarter counts toward the gift card of your choice. Points from previous quarters do not count, so even though your account may show more than enough points to get a card, all of those points may not have been earned during the eligibility period. You must have earned 60 points during the eligibility period to qualify for a gift card. As always, if you have ANY questions about points or gift cards, please contact us at 215-2916 or at smarttrips@knoxtrans.org.
