How to get around
Downtown is fairly compact and easily walkable. Some government buildings are connected to each other and to nearby buildings through underground walkways.

By Car
Two major interstates, east-west I-70 and north-south I-71, intersect near downtown. I-670 connects the airport to downtown, and I-270 loops around the outer boundaries of the city. I-70, I-71, and I-670 heading downtown are congested in the morning; in the evening they're clogged heading out of downtown. The Short North area and High Street are also very busy. Traffic usually flows smoothly in outlying suburbs (you do need a car in these areas because bus service is infrequent).

By Bus
The Central Ohio Transit Authority (614-228-1776) operates buses within Columbus.
