Trolley Line
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.
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:
