Ohio Loves Transit Week to feature activities, discounts for OHIO community

Ohio University Transportation and Parking Services will join other public transportation systems throughout the state Feb. 9-15 to celebrate Ohio Loves Transit Week.
All across the state, participating transit agencies will showcase how their systems enhance mobility around their communities and help facilitate regional transit access for riders.
Ohio University Transportation and Parking Services, in conjunction with Athens Public Transit (APT) and GoBus, will be taking part in several events to help spread awareness of public and campus transit opportunities. Ohio Loves Transit Week is coordinated by the Ohio Public Transit Association as an annual celebration of the essential role transit systems play in keeping communities moving.
The eighth annual Ohio Loves Transit Week will include several celebration activities, including:
- Ohio University Transportation and Parking Services will offer rider appreciation giveaways on Athens’s campus CATS Daily Shuttles, CATS Late Night Evening and Weekend Shuttles, and CATCAB Paratransit Services at various times throughout the week Feb. 9-15.
- GoBus rides booked between Feb. 9-15 will receive 25% off with the code GOTRANSIT. Trips booked during the week of Ohio Loves Transit can be scheduled through the end of June using the discounted code.
- GoBus will be conducting a Show Your Love survey for a chance to win a free roundtrip GoBus ticket and some swag. A direct link to the survey is available here.
- Transit Operators are the heartbeat of campus transit systems, and their work is essential to keeping the wheels moving. Transportation and Parking Services encourages riders to take a moment throughout their week to thank their transit drivers. Shout-outs for staff who have provided outstanding service will also be accepted by e-mailing tps@ohio.edu; feedback will be shared with drivers.
- Free fare day will be held on Friday, Feb. 14, for the public on APT.
- The Ohio University community is reminded that Ohio University’s Bobcat Pass partnership allows students, faculty, and staff to ride APT routes fare free every day using their Ohio ID card.
