City of OKC

City Council approved the MAPS 4 Implementation Plan and schedule on September 14, 2021. The plan serves as the guiding document for the program scope, project scheduling and budgets. 

Adoption of the Implementation Plan is an important milestone, letting the next stages of organization and planning for MAPS 4 to get under way.

The 11-person MAPS 4 citizens advisory board meets at 10:30 a.m. on the first Thursday of each month to make recommendations for City Council approval. The City Council meets at 8:30 a.m. every other Tuesday, and typically will consider Advisory Board recommendations at the first meeting after the board's decision. Visit okc.gov/agenda for meeting agendas.

Oklahoma City voters approved the sales tax to fund MAPS 4 in a special election on Dec. 10, 2019, moving forward with a unique and ambitious plan to transform our community. On Aug. 16, 2022, Oklahoma City Council voted to revise the MAPS 4 implementation plan, increasing the estimated revenue projected for MAPS 4 by $100 million to almost $1.1 billion. The temporary penny sales tax funding MAPS 4 began April 1, 2020, and ends in 2028.

Background

MAPS 4 is a debt-free public improvement program funded by a temporary penny sales tax that will raise a projected $1.1 billion over eight years.

MAPS 4 keeps Oklahoma City’s sales tax rate unchanged. The sales tax took effect April 1 when the Better Streets, Safer City temporary sales tax expired.

More than 70% of MAPS 4 funding is dedicated to neighborhood and human needs. The rest is for quality of life and job-creating initiatives.

The 16 MAPS 4 projects are:

• Parks ($154 million)
• Youth Centers ($118 million)
• Senior Wellness Centers ($31.7 million)
• Mental Health and Addiction ($44.6 million)
• Family Justice Center operated by Palomar ($42 million)
• Transit ($97 million)
• Sidewalks, bike lanes, trails and streetlights ($96.5 million)
• Homelessness ($55.7 million)
• Paycom Center and related facilities ($116 million)
• Animal Shelter ($42 million)
• Fairgrounds Coliseum ($82 million)
• Diversion Hub ($18.9 million)
• Innovation District ($76.7 million)
• Clara Luper Civil Rights Center ($17.1 million)
• Beautification ($32.8 million)
• Multipurpose Stadium ($41 million)

Each project will be refined in the coming years as the process unfolds, much like the previous MAPS programs.

The MAPS 4 Citizens Advisory Board and its six subcommittees will guide MAPS 4 planning and implementation, making recommendations to the City Council. The Council has final authority on MAPS 4.

The MAPS Investment and Operating Trust will develop a strategic investment plan to support long-term sustainable funding for MAPS 4 projects' operational expenses and maintenance. 

MAPS programs are pay-as-you-go. The sales tax proceeds accumulate while the program and projects are planned, so the projects are fully funded when construction begins.
