We've got a book club, and we're meeting a week from today! Our current book is No Shortcuts: Organizing for Power in the New Gilded Age by Jane F. McAlevey. We'll be meeting to discuss it on Wednesday, July 29 at 7:00 pm at the Columbus Main Library, Meeting Room 3B!

We could be riding @cota.com for YEARS.

We had a fantastic meeting last night! TC Board Member Gillian and Michael from United Way of Central Ohio discussed accelerating the Bike Plus plan in Columbus. Folks also voted on parklet designs for Park(ing) Day with the Knowlton Society!

Starting tomorrow, July 15, 2026, all COTA fares are waived on fixed-route buses, COTA//Plus and COTA Mainstream due to the heat advisory. Stay comfortable, stay safe and let us take care of your ride!

Handing out red and yellow cards like candy.

📣 If you collected signatures for the Our City, Our Say initiative, please turn in your petition forms ASAP - before MONDAY. 📣 Even if they aren't fully filled out, even if they're empty, OCOS needs them to capture every single signature and account for all distributed petition forms.

Tag along as we ride @cota.com downtown to catch a World Cup match! What team do you think is going to win? What team are you cheering for? ⚽ 🏆

We love that @cota.com waives fares during extreme weather, like this week, 🥵 but what if our buses were fare free all the time? Making buses fare-free not only increases equity and reduces barriers to transit ridership, but it actually improves service! 🚌

We've got a book club and we're meeting this month! Our current book is No Shortcuts: Organizing for Power in the New Gilded Age by Jane F. McAlevey. We'll be meeting to discuss it on Wednesday, July 29 at 7:00 pm at the Columbus Main Library, Meeting Room 3B!

We're excited to be a partner organization for this! We'll be brainstorming ideas at our next meeting!

Somehow missed this last year: "protected bicycle lanes experienced bicycle commuter increases 1.8 times larger than standard bicycle lane[s], 1.6 times larger than shared-lane marking [lanes] and 4.3 times larger than block groups [than no] bicycle facilities" www.nature.com/articles/s44...

Bicycling offers a range of benefits for urban commuters, but the facilities that best facilitate bicycle lane use are still unclear. Using data from 28 US cities, this study found that bicycle lanes ...

COTA prom, when?

Rebecca Saltzman@rebeccaforec.bsky.social · 2mo ago

BART Prom was incredible!!! 1000+ people dancing under BART tracks, wearing fabulous 80s prom outfits. My wife and I had a blast! I invite @bart.gov to host the 2nd BART Prom in El Cerrito. We have parking lots ready for a party, but they won’t available forever, as they’ll be replaced by housing.

It’s almost time for our June meeting! Join us next Tuesday, June 9 to meet our new board members, learn about Park(ing) Day, and more! We meet at 7:00 pm at the CML Main Library, Meeting Room 1A! Everyone is welcome, no prior knowledge or experience needed!

Being proud to serve means showing up fully for the work of moving our community forward. This Pride Month, we’re partnering with Stonewall Columbus and @transitcolumbus.org to share stories rooted in connection, purpose and pride. Follow along throughout June.

Starting Monday, June 8, Stop 1204 at N. High St. & E. Como St. will temporarily close due to construction. Line 2 customers should use nearby same-directional stops through Friday, June 12. View all service alerts at COTA.com/reroutes.

Did you know we have a book club? This is a great way to learn more about topics like urbanism, advocacy, transportation, and more! Our current book is No Shortcuts: Organizing for Power in the New Gilded Age by Jane F. McAlevey. We'll be meeting to discuss it on Wednesday, July 29 at 7:00 pm!

We'll be at Columbus Arts Festival! Come volunteer with us and raise $50 per shift! This is a great way to support the organization if you have time, rather than money, for a direct donation.

Last night, Vision Zero attended the Ride of Silence hosted by Yay Bikes! This annual, funeral processional bike ride honors the lives of cyclists who were killed or injured on our streets. Thank you to everyone who came out to support safe biking conditions for all.

Voodoo! Congrats to the @transitcolumbus.org team, partner orgs, and the people who took the time to drag city councilors to this policy win.
