SAFETY TIPS
We recommend everyone continue to dress for the weather and exercise caution when traveling.
- Wear several layers of loose, lightweight, warm clothing.
- Wear tightly woven, water-repellent or hooded outerwear.
- Wear a hat – 40% of your body heat can be lost through your head.
- Wear mittens that fit snugly around the wrist; mittens are better than gloves.
- Try to stay dry and sheltered from the wind.
When traveling around campus, remember that public transportation is available. You can find real-time information on CABS bus arrivals via the Ohio State App. Driving on COTA? Visit cota.com for service information.
