The project aims to create approximately five rapid transit corridors to support the metro population of Columbus, the capital and largest city in Ohio.

The initiative is a collaboration between the Central Ohio Transit Authority (COTA), the City of Columbus, and the Mid-Ohio Regional Planning Commission.

The route connects numerous medical offices, corporate buildings, and entertainment centers.

Notable among these are OhioHealth, the Ohio State University, Lennox Town Center, and the Astor Park development by Lower.com Field.

COTA and city officials want construction on the line to start by the end of the decade; first they will apply for federal funds, a process that can take years.
