Technological Advancements and Interagency Networks in Central Ohio: COTA’s AI-enabled Transit and Traffic Management Platform

In 2020, the Central Ohio Transit Authority (COTA), the transit agency serving the Columbus metropolitan area, received a grant through the Federal Transit Administration (FTA) Integrated Mobility Innovation (IMI) program to launch a connected mobility platform that gathers transportation data from a variety of sources and allows for predictive analytics using artificial intelligence (AI) technology. This platform works to improve traffic management, transit service, and road safety, and is built on the coordination of transit agencies, emergency responders, and other governmental services across 13 counties in the region. This project rests at the intersection of technological advancement and interagency collaboration, ensuring that new tools can work to improve service, safety, and efficiency for all partners.
