Read, chill or put on some tunes and leave the driving to COTA (Central Ohio Transit Authority). Our public bus system offers no-hassle commuter service for Franklin county and parts of Delaware, Fairfield, Licking and Union counties. Local and express trips. Daily and monthly passes, too.
A transformative new transportation system will be on the ballot this November. LinkUS will connect the region through BRT (Bus Rapid Transit), bringing together key corridors and enhancing equitable transportation access across the city as we continue to grow.
LinkUS will bring faster and safer public transportation along with safe pedestrian pathways to enhance and create more walkable communities. It is the culmination of over a decade of research and could transform the region as we know it. Learn more about LinkUS and its place on the November ballot below.
