A CARTA-Led Strategy for a Safer, More Connected Corridor
Chattanooga is growing, and that growth is putting new pressure on how people move through the city every day. Along the Brainerd Road / Lee Highway corridor, those challenges are especially visible, with safety concerns, congestion, and limited travel options affecting daily trips for residents, workers, and businesses.
CARTA is leading this project as part of a broader effort to strengthen how the entire transit network serves Chattanooga. While rapid transit along Brainerd Road is a key component, the project reflects a larger vision; one that connects corridors, improves reliability, and expands access to opportunity across the city, while also supporting new housing and job growth in the places best served by transit. Rather than focusing on transit alone, the study brings together mobility, safety, infrastructure, and community priorities to define a clear, coordinated path forward for one of Chattanooga’s most important corridors.
