Abstract:Each World's Fair is a unique event. Many of the lessons learned in transportation planning are, however, transferable to other special events. The Urban Mass Transportation Administration (UMTA) sponsored this study to identify and evaluate the experiences of the 1982 World's Fair in Knoxville. This Phase I report has been developed by synthesis of the insights and conclusions of the most critical participants in the development of the transportation system for the Fair in Knoxville. These include local government operating department heads, local business people, and representatives from the Knoxville International Energy Exposition, Inc., the Fair's promoter. Topics covered in this report include: background to the study; functional components of the transportation system such as parking, roadway improvements, transit, emergency vehicles, etc.; and the important issues related to planning and inter-organizational cooperation. For each topic, information and analysis are provided and conclusions drawn. A summary of the overall lessons-learned in transportation planning for the 1982 World's Fair is provided. These cover: permit applications, provision of parking, marketing to tours, transportation plan implementation, determination of promoter's role, coordination between promoter and transit company, overall cooperative atmosphere, roadway improvements, and pedestrians.
