Abstract
This study analyzes the current land use practices along the proposed Sevier County Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) route from Interstate 40 through Sevierville and Pigeon Forge to Gatlinburg, Tennessee. The study then provides direction in the possible placement of transit oriented developments (TOD), park and ride lots, and transit stations along the route based on population levels, commuter travel patterns, and employment nodes. The current zoning practices and regulations of each town along the proposed BRT are reviewed to see what changes need to be made to allow for TODs, park and ride, and transit stations.
