Metro, the Transit Authority of Northern Kentucky, the Butler County Regional Transit Authority, and the Cincinnati Connector are encouraging the community to vote to help ensure each transit system is featured as one of the four railroad spaces in Cincinnati’s upcoming Monopoly edition.

The agencies say the opportunity is a fun way to celebrate the essential role transit plays across the region.

“Transit connects thousands of people every day to work, school, healthcare, and community life,” agency leaders shared in a joint statement. “Being represented on the Monopoly board would reflect how central transit is to Cincinnati’s identity.”

The four agencies serve communities across Southwest Ohio and Northern Kentucky, collectively providing connections to jobs, education, entertainment, and essential services. While each system serves different areas, the agencies regularly collaborate to improve regional mobility.

The Monopoly railroad spaces have historically represented iconic transportation systems. Local transit leaders believe Cincinnati’s buses and streetcar are a natural fit.

Community members can show their support by sending an email to cincinnati@toptrumps.com with the subject line “Monopoly Railroad Vote” and including the following message:

“I would like to cast my vote for Metro, TANK, BCRTA, and the Cincinnati Connector to each represent one of the four railroad spaces in Cincinnati’s upcoming Monopoly edition. Including all four transit systems would be a meaningful way to recognize the vital role public transportation plays in connecting our region.”
