Local Transportation: How to Ride Tarc
Click here to watch a fun video on Riding a TARC bus or trolley. It shows how to use TARC as a convenient, simple and efficient way to get to your job or other destination.

TARC Job Hunter Bus schedules and webpage.

A lack of transportation can be a barrier to employment. TARC's Job Hunter Bus provides pre-planned transportation to groups of twenty or more potential employees to job fairs throughout the metro area.

The TARC Job Hunter Bus is scheduled through organizations such as the KY Department of Employment Services and others. The bus picks up job-seekers at designated locations and transports them to and from employment sites.
