Central Ohio is one of the fastest growing regions in the country, on track to reach 3.15 million residents by 2050. That’s nearly a million more people over the next 25 years. To address this growth, COTA is modernizing and expanding our transportation system through LinkUS. This transportation and growth plan — collaboratively created with the City of Columbus, the Franklin County Board of Commissioners, the Mid-Ohio Regional Planning Commission (MORPC) and the Columbus Partnership — will expand COTA transit service and make historic investments into sidewalks, bikeways and trails throughout the region to create more walkable, connected communities and increase opportunity for all.
