Service Changes

Service changes may include modifications to frequency, schedules, trip times, routing or stop locations. COTA modifies service three times per year on the first Monday of January, May and September. Here’s what’s new in May!

Line 6 Sullivant now operates every 15 minutes on weekdays.

Line 61 Grove City has a slight alignment change to improve efficiency entering and exiting through Downtown Columbus.

Line 74 Smoky Row has a slight alignment change to improve efficiency.

Zoo Bus returns! Our seasonal Zoo Bus service returns starting Saturday, May 9, for weekend-only (Saturday & Sunday) service. Daily service begins on Memorial Day, Monday, May 25. Visit COTA.com/ZooBus to learn more about the most affordable way to get to the Columbus Zoo and Aquarium this summer.

Minor schedule adjustments to Lines 10, 22, 35 and 73 help improve on-time performance.

Public Meetings

To ensure all those within our communities have an opportunity to understand the decisions we make at COTA and provide input, we conduct several meetings throughout the year and encourage the public to attend. Meetings are held in person at COTA’s Downtown Office located at 33 N. High St. and online through Facebook Live .
