MadisonConnect Shares April 2025 Transportation Updates

The April 2025 edition of the MadisonConnect newsletter highlights a number of important developments related to transportation access and resources throughout Madison County.

One key item is the recent passage of House Bill 54 by both chambers of the Ohio General Assembly. The bill includes continued funding for the Ohio Workforce Mobility Partnership Program, supporting transportation initiatives in both rural and urban areas. It also sets aside funds for a pilot program offering transit vouchers to qualifying individuals.

The newsletter also shares details about the Emergency Ride Home program through MORPC, which provides a transportation safety net for commuters using sustainable options like transit, carpool, or bike.

Additionally, planning is underway for a new initiative funded by the Central Ohio Transit Authority (COTA), which will help connect residents to and from COTA bus stops and Madison County.

Local efforts like RideConnect are also expanding, with a call for more volunteer drivers to help increase availability. The newsletter includes a full list of current transportation options in the area—from general public and senior services to specialized programs for veterans and Medicaid recipients.

Residents with transportation questions or needs are encouraged to contact Madison County Mobility Manager Lindsay Scites at 740-812-4748 or [email protected].
