Transportation
Ohio State is committed to providing transportation in a way that protects health and safety.
Transportation on Ohio State’s campuses is multimodal and includes personal vehicles, bicycles and public options, such as buses, shuttles, scooters and ridesharing. Recommendations and services are fluid and will continue to be updated to accommodate decisions regarding overall health and wellness considerations.
Details about Campus Area Bus Service
Face masks remain required on all public transit. CABS is currently operating with full seated and standing bus capacity. Riders should continue to enter from the front and exit from the rear door. Face masks and hand sanitizer continue to be available on the buses.
We encourage students, faculty and staff to review CABS service routes and times. Paratransit services remain available.
Riders can track CABS buses in real-time via the Ohio State app.
CABS is helping protect the safety of passengers through operational changes, including:
- Cleaning and disinfecting all buses and high-touch surfaces daily, including handrails and poles
- Providing hand sanitizer inside the buses at the front and rear doors
- Ensuring all CABS drivers to wear face masks
- Requiring all riders to wear face masks
