Happy Labor Day from the Oklahoma Transit Association! 🚌

Labor Day is a reminder that work is more than a job. It is a contribution to our communities and to the people who depend on us.

Today, we celebrate the hardworking people who keep Oklahoma moving. Public transportation depends on dedicated people showing up every day to serve their communities.

To all of Oklahoma’s transit workers, thank you for the work you do and the difference you make.

🚌❤️ Happy Labor Day!

The Oklahoma Department of Transportation is launching an update to the Oklahoma Mobility Plan, a statewide effort to strengthen public transit services across Oklahoma and ensure residents have access to safe, reliable and coordinated transportation options.

Have you completed the survey? https://forms.cloud.microsoft/pages/responsepage.aspx?id=kBQ4SI813kyBO7LybyeVTSbOiT3pI0BLk3NrWTT103RUQUlWUFk5SENaMlBFS1g1NkJURk85REZUTC4u&route=shorturl

Your OkTA Board Treasurer, Taylor Johnson, attended the meeting on July 22 and shared this report:
"Approximately 79 stakeholders attended the first Community Partner Committee Meeting held on July 22. This included OkTA member transit agencies, as well as other agencies that work with transit regularly. Consultants working on the Oklahoma Mobility Plan (OMP) provided an overview and timeline.

The OMP is expected to be completed summer 2027 with three additional Community Partner Committee Meetings between now and then. There is also a public involvement process to ensure citizens and communities all across Oklahoma can be heard. The meeting concluded with a discussion on the gaps and barriers that riders may have in utilizing public transportation in Oklahoma. For more information on the OMP, please visit the project website here. The website also has a link to the survey that you can share with your community, coworkers, and any others."
