Ride with US: Downtown C-pass

The Downtown C-pass gives eligible workers in downtown Columbus unlimited access to the entire bus system of the Central Ohio Transit Authority (COTA) thanks to the partnership of the Mid-Ohio Regional Planning Commission (MORPC), COTA and Capital Crossroads Special Improvement District (CCSID) downtown property owners. Eligible workers and some residents can use the C-pass any day, any time, on any route.

How does it work? Eligible downtown companies located in the boundaries on this map can register their employees. There’s no additional cost to the employers or employees to participate.

For more information, visit DowntownCpass.com or contact C-pass customer service at 614-591-4184.

Partnership = Innovation

When parking troubles put a squeeze on downtown progress, Capital Crossroads SID, COTA, and MORPC looked for innovative solutions. One of our ideas: See how many employees will ditch the keys if given an unlimited bus pass.
