~ RE: COTA Night stop and Portal-to-Portal Programs
....
Backqround
The Central Ohio Transit Authority ("COTA") is planning
to implement two programs to improve its service.
COTA is planning to establish a program known as the
"Night stop Program" in which COTA buses would stop at places other
than assigned bus stops after dusk and at off-peak hours.
COTA is also planning to establish a program known as the
"Portal-to-Portal Program" in which COTA would provide service
directly to and from passengers' homes. COTA has told us that they
would use smaller (25-foot) buses to serve as feeders to its
regular routes. Unlike the Night stop Program, the
Portal-to-Portal Program would not be limited to any particular
times of the day.
COTA intends to implement these programs if the COTA levy
passes in November of this year.
,. Ordinance
e In order for COTA to implement these programs in the City
.... of Dublin, Section 351.10 of the Codified Ordinances of the City of
Dublin, Ohio must be amended. Attached is an ordinance entitled
"An Ordinance to Amend Section 351.10 of the Codified Ordinances of
the City of Dublin, Ohio." Language which we propose to add
appears in bold, and language which we propose to delete appears in
strikeout.
We recommend amending Section 351.10(b) to permit buses
operated by the City or a transit authority (such as COTA) to
temporarily stop at locations other than officially designated bus
stops. Currently, Section 351.10 permits buses to stop only at
assigned stops.

We also recommend amending section 351.10(c) to require
buses to park within eighteen inches of curbs at all locations.
Currently, this requirement applies only to buses parked at bus
stops.
In addition, we propose minor grammatical changes in
Section 351.10 to improve clarity and consistency.
