Travel from Airport

  • Cincinnati’s airport (CVG) is roughly 15.5 miles from UC; by Lyft or Uber, it is usually a 20-minute ride, depending on traffic.
  • Shuttles are also available, and they are 40$ roundtrip. You can find more information about shuttles here.
  • Carpooling is a good option if people arrive at the airport around the same time. You can use the link below to add your contact and arriving information and to see with who you can carpool. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/137uB8uhv7XWwGQrpffzk_o69OE5w2vNR_ReHSV7HGyQ/edit#gid=0

Taking the bus is another affordable option but it is time consuming.
You can take 2X (every 40 minutes, 2.75$) to downtown Cincinnati, walk 0.2 miles, and then take the route 17 bus towards Mt Airy (every 10 minutes, 1.75$) to UC. Please remember that you need to have the exact change. The whole trip from the airport usually takes 1 hour and 5 minutes.
