COTA’s Bike ‘N Bus Reaches Milestone

June 28, 2007

COLUMBUS – After 33 months, the Central Ohio Transit Authority (COTA) has reached a milestone event with its Bike ‘n Bus Program by achieving over 100,000 boardings since September 2004.

“This program opens the door to attract new riders and build partnerships with community organizations,” said Bill Lhota, COTA President/CEO. “I am proud that the program has been successful and it truly is a great resource for people traveling greater distances.”

All COTA’s fixed-route buses have the front-mounted bike racks, which holds two bikes and there is no additional charge to use this service. COTA records the bike usage through the onboard tracking system.

    only 100,000 since 2004?

    how is it really counted? “onboard tracking system” doesn’t sound…reliable or something.

    i know bus drivers who only get pissed when you use the bike racks, others who don’t even notice.
