Beginning Monday (11/20), COTA buses will be traveling on the freeway shoulder along the I-70 east corridor from State Route 256 to downtown. Signs have been installed along this section of freeway and ramps informing motorists that buses may be using the shoulder under certain conditions. It is hoped that this plan will add to the many benefits of using mass transit. Only COTA buses are authorized to use the shoulder and police will ticket other vehicles. Please use caution and courtesy when you encounter buses moving from the shoulder back to the freeway. (COTA)
