COTA board passes 2023 budget, aims at hiring more drivers to add frequency on routes
The Central Ohio Transit Authority board adopted a 2023 operating budget that anticipates the agency hiring and retaining more drivers with the hope of restoring service frequency that had been reduced this year.COTA has about 580 drivers currently, but before the COVID-19 pandemic that landed in March 2020, it had 700, said Erin Delffs, COTA's interim chief financial officer.
"We've been reducing service because of a shortage of drivers," said Craig Treneff, who chairs the COTA board."Other transit agencies are struggling with the same thing. We're trying to get people to apply for these positions." The $189.5 million operating budget the board approved includes a projected $4 million operating deficit if COTA is able to hire enough drivers, Delffs said. Reserves would cover that.
