A year ago, Papercast joined forces with the Central Ohio Transit Authority (COTA) to introduce 13-inch e-paper displays and adaptive power solutions to Columbus bus stops. Today, we’re reflecting on how these updates have made travel easier, even during Ohio’s tough winter months.
What makes this project stand out?
👉 Reliable power options: A mix of solar panels and long-life batteries kept displays running in all conditions.
👉 Cost-effective upgrades: Retrofitting existing bus stop poles saved both time and money.
👉 Timely updates: Papercast’s CMS delivers real-time arrival info, system alerts, and more.
👉 Accessibility: Text-to-speech buttons and interactive features ensure riders get the information they need.
This partnership shows how thoughtful changes can improve transit for riders and make daily commutes more seamless.
