The Central Ohio Transit Authority (COTA) launched a new COTA//Plus service, bringing on-demand microtransit to Westerville.
COTA//Plus is an app-based rideshare that operates either as a point-to-point service or as a connection to or from a COTA transit line. Customers in Westerville can use COTA//Plus to travel in the 16-square-mile defined zone or use the service to connect to COTA Lines 102 and CMAX.
COTA//Plus provides first-last mile connections for customers, connecting them to job centers, hospitals, educational institutions, and critical shopping areas.
