TROLLEY LINES Knoxville’s downtown area also has a free trolley line. Conference-goers can ride the trolley on Friday from 7 a.m.-6 p.m. and the late night trolley runs from 6 p.m.-3:30 a.m. (This trolley line is open to the general public.) During the day, the trolley runs every 10 minutes, and during the evening it runs every 15 minutes. On Saturday, conference-goers will be able to ride free of charge a reserved trolley for the conference. (Only conference-goers will be allowed to ride this trolley.) The trolley will clearly be marked with a sign labeled NEXUS, and the trolley will stop at regular intervals at the Crowne Plaza Hotel, the Holiday Inn, and the University Center on campus beginning at 9 a.m. and ending at 7 p.m. As the complete map of the trolley lines on the following page indicates, the Orange Line serves a circular route between West Summit Hill Drive (where the Crowne Plaza is located) and the University of Tennessee campus. There is a stop close to the Student Center on Cumberland Avenue, between Phillip Fulmer Way and Volunteer Blvd. The Late Line serves a route from campus through the Old Town. There are stops on Cumberland, as listed above, on Gay Street near the Crowne Plaza, and in the Historic Old City District. A complete map of the Trolley Lines is available at the KAT website: http://www.ci.knoxville.tn.us/kat/ BUS SCHEDULES Knoxville Area Transit (KAT) buses run between the intersection at Cumberland & James Agee (at the UT end) and Gay Street & Summit Hill (at the Downtown end); they do not run as often as the trolley does, but below please see the listed times that fill in the gaps, so to speak, around the Trolley Line. From UT to Downtown: Route 11: Weekdays: 6:30 p.m., 7 p.m., 8 p.m. Saturday: On the hour, 7 a.m. to 6 p.m. Night Rider: Weekdays: On the half-hour, 7:15 p.m. to Midnight Saturday: On the half-hour, 7:15 p.m. to Midnight Fares: One way $1.25 UT Transit Information Line: (865) 637-3000 CAMPUS PARKING Parking tags will be provided free of charge for those attendees who asked for a permit when registering for the conference.
