Metro picks veteran of Northern Kentucky bus system as new CEO
Cincinnati's transit agency has picked a veteran of Northern Kentucky's bus system as its new CEO. Andy Aiello will take over as Metro CEO on June 1, replacing the retiring Darryl Haley, the Metro Board of Trustees announced. Aiello, 47, joined Metro as chief of staff in 2022, later becoming deputy general manager. He arrived from the Transit Authority of Northern Kentucky, where he worked for 18 years, the last 12 as general manager. He earlier worked for the Atlanta Regional Commission and the Georgia Department of Transportation. Aiello earned a bachelor's degree from Miami University and a master's from the University of Cincinnati. In a press release, Aiello said he would build on the foundation Haley created as CEO to "ensure Metro continues to move the Greater Cincinnati region forward." Haley, CEO since 2019, spent 19 years at Metro. During his tenure, Metro won voter approval for a ballot measure to fund its Reinventing Metro program. The Enquirer earlier requested a list of candidates for the position, but has not yet received the records from Metro. This article originally appeared on Cincinnati Enquirer: Who is Metro's new CEO?

New transit service for wheelchair users is first in nation, agencies say
Three area transit agencies are testing a service for passengers who use wheelchairs to travel throughout their combined agency borders. Cincinnati Metro, Transit Authority of Northern Kentucky and Butler County Regional Transit Authority launched their EZConnect pilot on Monday, May 5, to transport customers with any kind of mobility limits. Customers will pay $8 per ride and complete surveys about the service. They must be certified as eligible under the Americans with Disabilities Act, and seek pickup and drop off within three-quarters of a mile from a Metro, TANK or Butler County RTA route. The cross-agency service is the first of its kind in the nation, the agencies said in a press release. "EZConnect seeks to create a more integrated transit experience," the release said.
