The meeting opened with the Chair announcing a pilot program under development that would make the entire bus system free on the first Friday of each month for the first six months of next year. The Chair said discussions with four city council members and Visit Knoxville yielded letters of support and that a formal resolution could appear next month or in December to start the pilot in January; Isaac was identified as the staff lead for follow‑up.
