About Riverfront Transit Center
The Riverfront Transit Center in Cincinnati serves as a multi-modal transit hub and event bus staging facility rather than a traditional performance venue. Located at 220 Central Ave, Cincinnati, OH 45202, it sits beneath 2nd Street near The Banks, adjacent to the Great American Ball Park and Paycor Stadium. This facility is designed to move buses off streets around Riverfront Park and The Banks, supporting large-scale events with efficiency and reliability. Whether you’re attending an event or coordinating shuttle operations, we’ve got you covered with practical details to help you plan your day.
Key roles include hosting large-scale shuttles for events like BLINK, Riverfest, and Bunbury Music Festival, as well as accommodating Reds/Bengals games and US Bank Arena events. It’s a dynamic part of Cincinnati’s riverfront experience, trusted for both transit operations and event logistics.
If you’re visiting for an event, secure your transit and parking plans early. We provide clear, non-nonsense guidance on seating/standing capabilities, parking availability, and nearby accommodations and dining options. Think of us as your friend in the business—ready to connect you with practical, reliable arrangements for a smooth, hassle-free visit.
