TANK to hold Public Meeting on Redesign of Bus System
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Date: August 20, 2019
TANK to hold Public Meeting on Redesign of Bus System
The public is invited to comment and provide input on proposed redesign of the transit system. The Transit Authority of Northern Kentucky (TANK) is undertaking a System Redesign Study to help re-imagine the agency’s current bus route network structure. TANK invites the public to attend a Public Meeting at the Covington Career Center (1324 Madison Avenue, Covington) on August 29 between 4 p.m. and 7 p.m. The venue is located on TANK Route #7.
The purpose of the meeting is to gather input on the proposed redesign of the bus system and to hear comments about current service and future needs. The meeting will be open house style with a brief presentation given at 4:30, 5:30 and 6:30 p.m.
TANK staff and their consultant team will present a brief presentation to explain the redesign process and goals of the study. Outside of the presentation times, participants will be able to view, at their leisure, exhibit boards and bus network maps at several stations. Staff and consultants will be available to discuss the study and answer questions. Comments and desired outcomes will be captured via a brief survey and comment cards at each station.
The input received from the meeting will be used to assist the consultant team in identifying, prioritizing, and developing a re imagined bus transit system that will serve the needs of the Northern Kentucky community, providing more efficient and cost effective service that is supported by robust ridership. TANK’s goal is to provide community-supported transit to customers with varying needs and to support the continued job growth in the region. Collectively and with public input, TANK wants to ensure safe, convenient, and accessible public transportation for the areas residents, workers, and visitors that want and need to use it.
A second public meeting will be held later this year to present the draft Redesign Study plan and obtain comments.
Route delays due to I-75N & I-275E construction
Due to the construction in Florence on I-75 North and I-275 East, we are experiencing major delays on routes 1, 1X, 2X, 22X, 32X, 39X, 40X and 42X. There are times the traffic has our buses gridlocked on the expressway with no option for rerouting.
Also, with so many buses delayed due to this construction, and because all buses are already in use during rush hour, we are unable to add additional buses to these routes to support these delays. As soon as any information is provided to us regarding timeline of this construction, we will be sure to let you know.
We sincerely apologize for this frustration and inconvenience. We are doing everything we can and appreciate your feedback and patience.
If you are concerned about where you bus might be located, please download the transit app to locate your bus or call (859) 331-TANK. You can also chat with us directly on www.tankbus.org.
Thanks for riding with TANK!
Attn: Riders on Express Routes Using 5th Street
All express routes using 5th Street in Cincinnati should expect construction to close the bus stop at Skyline on Sycamore between 5th and 4th Street. This should last approximately one week.
During this time, you can use the stop at the old Wendy's on 4th Street between Sycamore and Main Street.
Thank you for your patience and thanks for riding with TANK!

Delays expected due to President Trump's visit Thursday

Please be aware that is it likely that all of the interstates (I-75, I-275 and I-471), in addition to some side roads, will experience congestion and partial closures before, during and after this visit. In addition, it is likely that many of the bridges will experience full or partial closures as well.
TANK is committed to being as responsive as we can be during this inevitable traffic congestion. We will add vehicle resources to help accommodate the expected traffic delays and keep routes running as close to schedule as possible. We will be operating within what is allowed, as dictated by local authorities. Although we do not have exact details at this time, we will post any information to our Facebook and Twitter page as we receive it.
