SHARE a Ride to the Smart Columbus Experience Center Grand Opening

SHARE is offering free rides in Columbus, OH on June 30th to the Grand Opening of the Smart Columbus Experience Center. To celebrate the event, SHARE and other transit providers will be on-site for the event. This event highlights the progress and change that is happening in Columbus, OH. As the city of Columbus transforms its infrustructure to become a smart city, events like this are an opportunity for the public to learn about how new transportation options, like SHARE, can work for them. SHARE is a microtransit service for scheduling the rides you take the most. SHARE picks you up at your door and connects you with other riders going the same way at the same time.

Join us as we celebrate the Grand Opening of the Smart Columbus Experience Center, where you’ll see, touch and hear about the future of mobility in our city and discover the simple ways you can accelerate Columbus’ journey to becoming a smart city. SHARE will be running free transportation service to anyone that schedules a ride to the Smart Mobility Block Party.

Schedule your ride by choosing what time you want to arrive. We have routes starting at 9:00 am and we have return routes starting at noon until 2 pm.
