C-PASS PROGRAM
C-pass ends Dec. 31, 2026. Something bigger is on the way.
For years, C-pass has given Downtown Columbus workers easy access to COTA. Now we’re building on that success with a program open to organizations across Central Ohio.
Meet Go Pass, coming Jan. 1, 2027
Go Pass opens discounted transit to organizations across COTA’s entire service area, not just downtown. Businesses, residential communities, senior living facilities and other organizations can buy discounted annual passes for their members, with group savings up to 25%. Members ride COTA fixed-route buses as often as they like with the Transit app or a COTA Smartcard.
