SRTP

What is COTA’s Short Range Transit Plan (STRP)?

COTA’s 2023-2027 Short Range Transit Plan (SRTP) will use our vision and guiding principles to create near-term service planning initiatives that will guide COTA over the next five years. To learn more about our SRTP, visit COTASRTP.com

The SRTP will serve as a vital tool to assess our current operations, describe future transit enhancements and prioritize expenditures, service and funding to serve Central Ohio’s mobility needs.

COTA’s SRTP is part of the Mid-Ohio Regional Planning Commission (MORPC) Transportation Improvement Program (TIP) process. For more information on the TIP, visit www.morpc.org/tip.
