City of OKC
Home MenuPublic Transportation and Parking
In 1966, the Central Oklahoma Transportation and Parking Authority (COTPA) was born in Oklahoma City with just 18 buses in its fleet.
Known as EMBARK, the hybrid city department and public trust takes on the vital role of planning, constructing, owning, and running passenger transportation systems and downtown parking facilities for the city.
EMBARK doesn't just stop at buses; it offers a rich tapestry of multi-modal transit services throughout the greater Oklahoma City area. These services encompass many options, from the extensive fixed-route bus network (comprising 23 routes) to the new efficient bus rapid transit system known as RAPID. Plus, the iconic OKC Streetcar, ADA paratransit services and river ferry transit options.
