Delaware County Votes on Transit Boost | Columbus News

Delaware County is asking voters to approve a tiny 0.2% sales tax hike this November to fund a major transit expansion—boosting service in key towns like Delaware, Sunbury, and Galena, while reaching out to rural areas including Powell, Liberty, and Orange. With ridership soaring 175% since 2021 and over 215,000 trips expected this year, the agency’s on-demand Flex Service is a hit, and they’re eyeing new “microtransit” zones and even a southern-to-downtown Columbus route. The funds will also replace aging buses and meet rising demand, ensuring reliable mobility for everyone across the county.
