As highlighted by Ohio State News, researchers have demonstrated that they could use cameras installed on CABS buses at The Ohio State University to automatically and accurately measure counts of vehicles on urban roadways. 

"Sharing access to our bus cameras for traffic monitoring is a great example of how university operations can support research and learning," said Tom Holman, director of Transportation and Traffic Management (TTM). "We are happy to share existing resources that can generate helpful data for long-term traffic planning purposes on campus and beyond."

As highlighted by The Lantern, The Undergrad Student Government (USG) is partnering with Transportation and Traffic Management (TTM) to once again provide a free airport shuttle for spring break travelers.

Shuttles will also be available to take students back to campus on March 18 from 12 p.m to 12 a.m. and March 19 from 9 a.m. to 12 a.m.

Due to a temporary closure of the Safe Auto Garage for routine cleaning and maintenance, the James Parking Shuttle (JPS) will add stops this weekend.

This service change is to accommodate patients and visitors parking in the Wexner Medical Center Garage during the temporary closure of Safe Auto Garage.
