Transit Authority of Northern Kentucky Implements New Service Updates Following Community Input
The Transit Authority of Northern Kentucky (TANK) has announced new service improvements set to take effect on Saturday, November 7. These updates are a direct result of community input gathered throughout 2025, involving feedback from riders, employees, nonprofit organizations, major employers, and local government officials. TANK also hosted public meetings in September to discuss the proposed changes. Key improvements include extending Route 1 to Newport, increasing peak frequency on Routes 3, 7, and 12 to every 30 minutes, and on Routes 5 and 8 to every 40 minutes. The Southbank Shuttle and Route 16 will be removed, replaced by a new high-frequency corridor connecting downtown Newport, Covington, and downtown Cincinnati, and an extended Route 1, respectively. The TANK Plus zone will also expand to include Alexandria Walmart and Village Green Shopping Center.
