 Fly COTA (Special OSU Airport Service)
COTA will fly you to and from Port Columbus International Airport for holiday breaks and at the beginning and end of each quarter. And no matter what your destination – from Boston to Boulder to Burbank – COTA #52 will get you to the turnstile on time. As always, there’s no fare when you flash your red student BUCK•I•D!
 COTA’s Bike `n Bus Program
This program lets you combine the convenience of riding the bus with the enjoyment of cycling. The bike racks are designed to securely hold two bikes per rack, are FREE of charge, and are available during normal bus service hours – including evenings and weekends (may not be available when inclement weather prohibits safe use).
For safety reasons, your bus operator cannot assist bike rack users, so you must be able to load and unload your bike correctly without the bus operator’s assistance. Bikes are mounted at the user’s own risk. COTA is not responsible for any theft or damage while the bike is mounted on the rack or at any COTA facility.
Commute to Campus with COTA
 If you commute, COTA’s Park & Ride locations offer an economical and stress-free way to travel to campus. You can park free at any of COTA’s Park & Ride locations and take the bus. Let COTA do the driving for you while you read, work or just relax during your daily commute. Park & Ride locations and the routes serving can be found by clicking here.
