Overview
The Oklahoma Department of Transportation (ODOT) is developing a plan to strengthen transit services and mobility management throughout the state of Oklahoma in urban, rural, and tribal areas. This plan will examine existing services, policies, funding needs, innovative strategies, and input from stakeholders and the public to create a list of actionable recommendations that support Oklahoma’s long-term mobility goals. This plan will serve as a guide for ODOT to enhance public transportation policies, investments, and coordination across the state over the next 20 years.
Public Engagement Opportunities
As we look to improve transit and mobility services, we want to hear about your thoughts and experiences. Public meetings, focus group discussions, and pop-up activities at community events will be scheduled across the state. We encourage everyone to participate online through the Oklahoma Mobility Plan Survey, or by finding us at one of the in-person events.
