Transportation and Traffic Management (TTM) provides several transportation options across Ohio State’s Columbus campus.

  • Campus Area Bus Service, or CABS, is an easy, free transit service you can use without having to show your BuckID! Track CABS in real-time via the Ohio State app.
  • CABS On-Demand is another free service that provides daytime transportation to select locations and overnight transportation to all campus buildings via the TripShot app.
  • Lyft Ride Smart offers students discounted rides inside the university-designated service area overnight.
  • Paratransit offers curb to curb transportation both on and off campus for customers with a temporary or permanent disability.


In addition, the Central Ohio Transit Authority, or COTA, provides enrolled students rides within Central Ohio and the greater Columbus area when using their BuckID.

You’re going places! We want to make sure you get there safely, no matter your mode of transportation.
