Hi there! I am EMBARK's project manager for the RAPID's first bus rapid transit (BRT) Northwest line. If you have any questions about the project or anything referenced in this update, please do not hesitate to contact me. Public transit is always a work in progress, but we know that where public transit goes, community grows. Thank you for your patience throughout the construction process.

EMBARK's transit family will soon include a bus rapid transit (BRT) system. RAPID will bring high-frequency, premium transit service to central Oklahoma. The first line is expected to launch in Northwest OKC in Fall 2023. > Learn more about the project & upcoming service at embarkok.com/brt. > Sign up for RAPID Construction Updates here. > Follow RAPID on Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter.

The construction of the RAPID NW Line is funded in part by the City of OKC's Better Streets, Safer City Program, Central Oklahoma Transportation & Parking Authority, and the U.S. Department of Transportation.
