Its core tasks include timetable and route planning, settlement of bus and rail services, quality management in the procurement of transport services, representation of the City of Hanau in committees of the Rhein-Main-Verkehrsverbund (RMV), coordination with the local transport organisations of neighbouring districts and cities, stop management and signage maintenance, provision and support of the operations control system and passenger information displays, customer information and marketing for timetables and the route network, and preparation of the local transport plan (Nahverkehrsplan). Hanau LNO commissions Hanauer Straßenbahn AG (HSB) to provide the actual transport services. The company is wholly owned by the City of Hanau and operates as a municipal GmbH. Its website is hosted on the HSB website.

Its responsibilities include timetable and route planning, financial settlement of bus and rail services, quality management for contracted services, stop management and signage, operation of control systems and passenger information displays, customer information and marketing, and preparation of the local transport plan. The company commissions Hanauer Straßenbahn AG (HSB) to actually operate the transport services.
