Public transportation connects people to vital services, which is why we launched the first iteration of our paratransit service in 1970, now known as COTA Mainstream, to increase access for those who cannot use our fixed-route lines. Visit COTA.com/mainstream to learn more about this essential service. #DisabilityAwarenessMonth #50YearsofCOTA

Bexley residents have a lot to look forward to when it comes to COTA's plan to link the community with more sidewalks, bikeways and trails through LinkUS. From improvements to the Main Street bridge to new sidewalks, COTA could make it safer and easier for everyone on the road.

Congratulations to Columbus City Council President Shannon Hardin on receiving American Public Transportation Association's Distinguished Service Award! This honor recognizes a public figure who has significantly contributed to the public transportation industry through policy, legislative initiatives and leadership. “President Hardin’s dedication to equitable transit is deeply personal,” says COTA President/CEO Monica Tellez-Fowler. “His advocacy is rooted in a desire to rectify historical injustices, such as those experienced by his own family when Interstate 71 divided their Columbus community. Hardin's commitment to reconnecting neighborhoods and providing reliable transit options to all residents is evident in his efforts to ensure that public transportation serves as a bridge to opportunity for every community member.” Congratulations, Council President Hardin! Thank you for helping move every life forward in Central Ohio. #APTA #Leadership #DistinguishedService #Community
