The following is an overview of the major roads and transportation services and facilities in and around Ohio’s State Capital.
| | Columbus is bisected by I-70 running east-west, and I-71 running north to roughly southwest. They combine downtown for about 1.5 miles at "The Split", a major traffic congestion point within Columbus, especially during rush hour. |
| | The city street numbering plan originates at their intersection in mid-downtown, so house numbers increase with distance from downtown. |
| | Columbus is served by Port Columbus International Airport, Rickenbacker International Airport, Don Scott Airport (run by OSU), and Bolton Field Airport. |
| | Nation's first highway: U.S. Highway 40 (National Road), runs east-west through Columbus, comprising Main St. to the east of downtown and Broad St. to the west. |
| | I-270 Outerbelt encircles the majority of Columbus and its suburbs, while the Innerbelt consists of the I-670 spur on the north side (which continues to the east past the airport and to the west where it merges with I-70), SR 315 on the west side, the I-70/71 split on the south side, and I-71 on the east. |
| | Nearly all of the state's destinations are within a 2-hour drive of Columbus. |
| | Besides High St. & Broad St, major thoroughfares in Columbus include Main St, Morse Rd, Dublin-Granville Rd (SR-161), Cleveland Ave/Westerville Rd (SR-3), Olentangy River Rd, Riverside Dr, Sunbury Rd, and Livingston Ave. |
| | Central Ohio Transit Authority (COTA) is the widespread municipal bus service. |
