The Central Ohio Transit Authority is paying the $178,357 salary of Licking County Transit director, Matt Allison, which it is loaning to the agency.
Licking County Transit's executive director makes $178,357 a year, but that county does not pay a penny of it.loaned Matt Allison in 2022 to Licking CountyAllison is a 34-year COTA employee who had been its chief of transit operations before COTA's one-year contract with Licking County began in May 2022.
Currently, Licking County Transit is an"on-demand' service with no fixed routes. It had 61,630 trips in 2022. Craig Treneff, who chairs the COTA board, said COTA can't fund Allison's position indefinitely. But he said that eventually public transportation around central Ohio is going to have to be looked at as a regional effort, and that COTA can learn from this experience with Licking County.

It’s those who can afford personal vehicle travel, thereby putting another barrier before some of Utah’s most vulnerable populations experiencing nature deprivation.
