More people now have more options for getting to their jobs and other essential destinations, thanks to the launch of a new zone for the on-demand MetroNow! service in Blue Ash/Montgomery.
The new zone — which also extends into Deer Park, Silverton, Kenwood, and Madeira — is the fourth for the innovative transportation option and the second to be launched in 2025, following the debut of the Forest Park/Pleasant Run zone in June. MetroNow! makes it easier than ever for residents and workers to reach employers, retail stores, places of worship, schools, and other essential locations.
On Oct. 27, a celebration at Summit Park for the launch of the Blue Ash/Montgomery zone featured remarks from Hamilton County Commission President Denise Driehaus, Blue Ash Mayor Jill Cole, Metro Board Chair Blake Ethridge, and Metro CEO and General Manager Andy Aiello.
“This expansion of Metro’s on-demand service into the Blue Ash/Montgomery Zone represents a meaningful stride in connecting more people to their jobs and everyday needs,” Driehaus said. “We’re proud to help make transit more flexible, reliable, and accessible across our community.”
The two zones launched in 2025 expand Metro’s on-demand transit network throughout more neighborhoods around Hamilton County. They join existing zones in Springdale/Sharonville and Northgate/Mount Healthy. Similar to popular ride-sharing services, MetroNow! allows riders to book trips within designated zones through the MetroNow! app or by calling (513) 551-5555, with each ride costing just $2.50. The service runs from 6 a.m. to 9 p.m. Monday through Friday and from 8 a.m. to 9 p.m. on weekends.
The on-demand MetroNow! service uses shuttle-style vehicles to provide convenient travel within each zone and seamless connections to Metro’s broader fixed-route network. And it has proved to be a popular option, with more than 210,000 trips taken since its May 2023 debut.
“MetroNow! has truly transformed how people move around Hamilton County, showing just how much need there is for flexible, affordable transit options,” Aiello said. “This expansion allows us to connect even more neighborhoods and continue Metro’s commitment to improving mobility and connectivity across Hamilton County.”
