If you are a student, alumni, employee, community member, or any way related to The Ohio State University, please take this survey about bicycling on campus.
Every U.S. household can place an order to receive four more COVID-19 rapid tests directly delivered to you.
Take a survey to give feedback to the city of Columbus on its zoning update. The survey will ask you about building and housing preferences along the city’s main corridors as well as thoughts on parking minimums.
Mark up the Vision Zero Columbus map. Have a close call walking, biking, or getting around town? Do you know a dangerous intersection that can be improved? Help identify these spots on the Vision Zero map.

They’re calling the plan “Bike Plus” – and they need your help! (5 minutes)
