Yesterday, RAPID reached a huge milestone - A quarter million riders since service began on December 4, 2023!

This achievement is a testament to our community’s trust and reliance on our services. Thank you to our dedicated team and our wonderful customers for making this possible.

Our Rapid line up Classen and Northwest Expressway has welcomed 250,000 riders in its first seven months! Clearly, this new service fills a need. Hopefully you’ve checked it out. If not, join your neighbors and give it a try. It’s an easy and convenient connection between downtown and all points along Classen and Northwest Expressway. And two more lines are coming through MAPS 4 to Northeast and South.

ICYMI - RAPID Northeast and RAPID South corridors have been approved by City of Oklahoma City - Government City Council.

The corridors were developed based on input received through community and engagement and extensive analysis of the corridors. Thank you to all of those who provided feedback to continue to make better in our city.

Oklahoma City Council voted today to approve a 17-mile route (locally preferred alternative) for the new MAPS 4 Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) corridor in northeast and south Oklahoma City.

The route will serve key destinations, connecting communities and resources, and expand equitable mobility options for residents.

BRT is a high-frequency, direct bus-based transit service that operates like light rail. The approved route establishes a BRT corridor connecting the Adventure District in northeast Oklahoma City to SW 89th Street and S Portland Avenue near the industrial logistics hub where the Amazon fulfillment facility is located. Key community destinations and employment hubs along the corridor include Metro Tech, Ralph Ellison Library, Automobile Alley, the Innovation District, Capitol Hill, INTEGRIS Southwest Medical Center and Oklahoma City Community College. The approved route, which could be constructed in two phases, will include 26 stop locations, each with a northbound and southbound station, and is projected to serve 2,700 weekday riders, connecting to approximately 50,000 jobs.

The BRT buses will travel along a combination of mixed traffic and dedicated lanes including business access and turn (BAT) lanes and center-running lanes.

BRT stations typically include amenities such as lighting, shelter, monumental signage, ticketing kiosks, real-time arrival information, level boarding and more. Rapid BRT buses arrive every 12-15 minutes on weekdays.

The route was developed based on input from residents across Oklahoma City at 19 public events and 15 pop-up events, as well as an online and map survey. Feedback focused on the need for reliable service, access to healthcare and educational facilities, connections to employers, service in key districts and neighborhoods and support for disadvantaged populations.

MAPS 4 includes $61 million to build the EMBARK-operated BRT corridor connecting south and northeast OKC. The City will leverage MAPS funds to apply for federal grants. Construction is scheduled to start in 2028.

This will be Oklahoma City’s second BRT route. Lear more:
