2017 Service Changes - Effective August 12, 2017.
Public Involvement and Budget
- TANK conducted public involvement for a proposed service change, in conjunction with the budget proposal to the Fiscal Courts. During the public involvement period, TANK staff held public meetings, informed current riders via on-bus communication, spoke to elected officials and discussed the plan at county and city meetings. We received dozens of phone messages and emails with comments opposing these service reductions. We also received many ideas for changes to the proposal for our planning consideration.
- Once the public involvement period ended, TANK staff went through all of the comments and ideas and reconciled them with the budget realities that have now been finalized by Kenton, Boone and Campbell Counties.
- In response to public comment, some of the proposals, specifically those in Campbell County, have been adjusted.
- A summary of the revised and final service cuts is below. These changes will go into effect on August 12th. Visit our website at www.tankbus.org for more details. New schedules will be available the middle of July.

The route will not extend to the Covington Transit Center.
