TANK (Bus Service)
TANK - Transit Authority of Northern Kentucky provides public transit services to Boone, Campbell, and Kenton Counties as well as downtown Cincinnati. Close to 4 million passengers each year rely on the more than 100 TANK buses throughout the region to get them where they need to be.
Among the many programs TANK offers to businesses and the workforce are:
- SmartCommuter. A program locally offered by TANK and Metro which allows companies to offer employees the valuable benefit of subsidized or lower cost commuting. Participating businesses take advantage of federal tax incentives (offered through Section 132 of the IRS code) to offer employees a subsidized or pre-tax transit benefit.
- Guaranteed Ride Home. A safety net to provide a ride home, day care facility, school or the "park and ride" in case of an emergency during the work day when your bus is not running.
- RAMP. The Regional Area Mobility Program is a door to door paratransit service allowing disabled citizens who are unable to use TANK's fixed route bus service to have same schedule advantages provided to the general public.
- Park & Rides. TANK has an extensive network of 19 Park & Ride locations located throughout Northern Kentucky. Parking at a Park & Ride lot is FREE and most park and ride routes are served by Express bus routes, which offer premium service to our commuters!
- One Stop Website. TANK offers one-stop information and shopping at www.tankbus.org. Passengers can use the Google Transit trip planner for one-click directions and trip planning, the commuter calculator to determine cost savings of transit vs. driving, and the on-line store to purchase TANK passes from a home or office computer.
- Convenient Fare Media. TANK offers monthly, weekly and daily fare media options. There is a convenient way to pre-pay fare no matter how often you ride the bus. Call 859-331-TANK for advice from an information specialist or visit www.tankbus.org for information.
