With Ohio's stay-at-home order in effect, COTA is continuing to make changes to its services.
On Tuesday, COTA announced that all rush-hour commuter lines have been temporarily suspended.
Additionally, COTA will begin its dynamic service on Wednesday. COTA's current emergency policy permits a maximum of 20 passengers per bus. If a bus reaches that number, the driver will pass customers who are waiting at bus stops.
When the dynamic service begins, COTA-branded vehicles will be deployed in areas of higher ridership If a bus driver has to pass up a waiting customer due to a bus being full, a back-up vehicle will be immediately dispatched to pick up the customer.
Other schedule updates will remain in place.
