Save on Transportation with Unlimited COTA Access in the Short North

    COTA has teamed up with our partners at the Short North Alliance to bring back the Short North C-pass Program, which offers unlimited, monthly fixed-route COTA access to those who work in the Short North at no cost.

    This program is made possible thanks to the generosity of Short North employers and residences.

    HOW TO USE YOUR PASS

    Your C-pass is attached to your Transit app ID, which means you just have to scan the Transit app when you board a COTA vehicle at the validator to ride. You won’t see a balance in-app, but you can view your pass any time via the Transit app or the online web portal at passes.COTA.com.
