East Main Street Bus Rapid Transit Project Profile
The Central Ohio Transit Authority (COTA) proposes to implement a bus rapid transit (BRT) service on the 13-mile East Main Street corridor between downtown Columbus and the City of Reynoldsburg. The project is intended to serve 18 stations and operate in a combination of dedicated center and curbside guideway, as well as sections in mixed traffic. The project is expected to feature specially branded zero-emission or electric vehicles, near-level boarding at stations, off-board fare collection, complete streets improvements, transit signal priority, improved station amenities with enhanced safety and security, and increased transit service.
