The City of Columbus, the Central Ohio Transit Authority (COTA) and the Mid-Ohio Regional Planning Commission (MORPC) are working together in a new effort “to plan for options along transit corridors in Franklin County” while also focusing on “creating jobs and new housing built around transportation in those corridors,” The Columbus Dispatch reports.
