Neighborhood Traffic Safety Program is currently closed. 


The Neighborhood Traffic Safety Program (NTSP) is currently being redesigned in hopes of improving the experience for those that apply in the future. In doing so, the City hopes to create a more sustainable program. The NTSP was more popular that the city could have imagined, and there was not enough funding to meet the demand. Groups participating in the old program should be completed by the end of 2026. 

The waitlist for the redesigned Neighborhood Traffic Safety Program has closed. Those that are currently on the waitlist will be notified as soon as the program has been redesigned and there is funding to support more projects.

Since the former NTSP closed, the City hired Cannon and Cannon, Inc. to complete a comparative analysis of a number of peer cities with characteristics similar to Knoxville regarding their current neighborhood traffic safety programs. The goal of this analysis was to provide program development services for the City of Knoxville’s NTSP. Transportation Engineering has received the comparative analysis from Cannon and Cannon, and is using the information provided to redesign the new program.

Please check back in early 2026 to see if the City is ready to publish the new program process.
