Drive time

Not counting all the road construction slow-downs Central Ohio commuters have been wrestling with this year, getting downtown by car from any of Columbus’ 15 suburbs takes an average of 22 minutes, according to the Mid-Ohio Regional Planning Commission. Only residents of Bexley can do the commute in less, MORPC estimates. Here’s how the drive times break down:
