The only public transportation passing through Cherokee is the Continental Trailways Bus. By using this bus, Cherokee people can go to other places, such as Chattanooga and Waynesville. There is also a local bus that travels over the reservation area. The Boys Club also offers a chartered bus service. It is estimated that every household on the Reservation has at least one car.
Adequate transportation is one of the keys of the development of any community or area.
The Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians is located in the midst of the heart of the Southern Appalachian Region. Being a very popular tourist resort, Cherokee is visited by millions of people each year. Road improvements are being made every year to bear the volume of traffic which comes this way, especially during the summer.
