What Other's Are Saying

“Oklahoma City has purposefully reinvented itself; from our economy to our quality of life. Our public transit is a key part of that continued growth and vitality. I congratulate EMBARK and its Board, Mayor Cornett and our City Council on this national award and commend their vision. The modernizations to OKC's public transit have resulted in incredible gains in ridership.”
