What is LinkUS?
LinkUS is Central Ohio’s comprehensive growth and mobility plan. It’s where fast and reliable public transit, sidewalks, protected bike lanes, and expanded trails meet.
We’re investing in smart development to connect communities and create opportunities for a more equitable and sustainable region for everyone by helping to address growth, affordability, and opportunity gaps in Central Ohio.
Faster, More Reliable Public Transportation
- 5 New rapid transit corridors
- 45% more service hours
Safe, Expanded Bike and Pedestrian Paths
- 500+ miles of bikeways, sidewalks, and greenways
Walkable Communities
- More affordable access to work, home, and entertainment
- $250M Complete Streets roadway investments
Based on extensive research over the last decade, LinkUS selected three corridors to focus on initially, the Northwest, East Main and West Broad corridors.
Beyond these first three corridors, LinkUS also encompasses plans for future corridors to help increase connectivity, affordability and opportunity throughout the entire Central Ohio region.
LinkUS includes a plan to build 500+ miles of sidewalks and trails by 2050. Plans to build these sidewalks and trails are well underway – over 80 projects and more than 150 miles are proposed for the first five years of LinkUS. This unprecedented and historic investment will help create walkable, bikeable, and connected communities.
