The Transit Authority of Northern Kentucky, also known as TANK, is expanding its TANK Plus service by adding a new drop-off and pick-up-only destination.
The west Newport Kroger, located at 20 W. 6th St., is now a TANK Plus “Island,” serving as a designated stop. As part of the launch, riders who travel to or from the “Island” during the month of July will receive a $5 Kroger gift card. Curb-to-curb TANK Plus service is $5 per ride.
“By adding the Newport Kroger as a TANK Plus Island, we’re expanding convenient, affordable access and giving riders a simple way to connect to grocery shopping,” TANK Marketing Manager Jenny Kammes said in a news release.
TANK Plus, which the agency launched in 2024, has provided on-demand service, offering convenient curb-to-curb transportation for riders and connections to TANK fixed-route transfer points.
