What Executive Transportation does
Executive Transportation, Inc. is a family-owned ground transportation company headquartered in Newport, Kentucky, serving the Cincinnati metropolitan area and Northern Kentucky since 1961. The company operates four wholly-owned divisions: Executive Transportation (luxury sedans and SUVs — Cadillac XTS, Chevrolet Suburban LTZ — and vans for executive and small-group travel), Executive Charter (a fleet of 20+ motor coaches and mini-coaches for group and long-distance travel), Airport Executive Shuttle (shared CVG airport shuttle and airline crew transportation), and Express Mobile Transportation (non-emergency medical transportation for seniors and wheelchair/mobility-challenged passengers, including a non-wheelchair sub-brand called Express Mobile Plus). The underlying "technology" is its physical fleet and human capital rather than a software platform — including on-staff mechanics, PAX-certified chauffeurs subject to background checks and drug testing, and weekly driver training.
The business operates a direct-to-consumer and direct-to-enterprise model with no third-party marketplace presence. Pricing is fully quote-based and not publicly disclosed; customers reserve via website, phone (859-261-8841), toll-free (800-990-8841), or email ([email protected]). Revenue is transactional per ride/booking across all service lines (airport shuttle, executive car, motor coach charter, wedding, corporate employee shuttle, city-to-city, and NEMT). Headcount is 200+ across all divisions, with a registered address at 1810 Monmouth Street, Newport, KY. The company is currently in its third generation of family ownership (Dennis Ward, Tamara Bravo, Rick Bravo) following a 2009 ownership transfer from Carl Ward.
Notable enterprise customers include CVG Airport, Procter & Gamble, Amazon, Kroger, Marriott, Embassy Suites, the Cincinnati Reds, University of Cincinnati Bearcats athletics, Thomas More Saints, Flying Pig Marathon, MeetNKY, Visit Cincy, and Ark Encounter. Differentiators cited are 60+ years of regional brand heritage, WBENC women-owned certification, TLPA and Boston Coach industry awards, US Federal Contractor Registration verified vendor status, and the PAX chauffeur training program. No external private equity, venture capital, or parent company ownership is evidenced.
