Random walks in random environment (RWRE) \(X_t=(\xi_t,Y_t)\), \(t \in \mathbb{Z}_+\) with \(\xi_t \in \mathbb{Z}\), \(Y_t \in [1,\dots,d]\) on a strip \(\mathbb{Z} \times [1,\dots,d]\) are considered. The model was introduced in \textit{E. Bolthausen} and \textit{I. Goldsheid} [Commun. Math. Phys. 214, No. 2, 429--447 (2000; Zbl 0985.60092)]. Transitions are allowed between the nearest layers, i.e. from \(n\times [1,\dots,d]\) to \(m\times [1,\dots,d]\) with \(m=n-1,n,n+1\) only. Given a realization of the environment \(\omega=(\omega_n)_{n\in \mathbb{Z}}\), which is assumed to be stationary and ergodic, the RWRE \((X_t)_{t \in \mathbb{Z}_+}\) is a time-homogeneous Markov chain on the strip with transition probabilities depending on \(\omega_n\) at each layer \(n\) (\(n\in \mathbb{Z}\)). The random walks are assumed to be transient to the right. In the article a strong law of large numbers in general ergodic setup is derived and an annealed central limit theorem in case of uniformly mixing environments is obtained. The expression for asymptotic speed and sufficient condition for the nonzero speed regime are given. In addition, it is proved that the ``environment viewed from the particle'' converges to a limiting distribution if the environment is an i.i.d. sequence.
