Association
OkTA Moves Transit Forward in Oklahoma.
People ride public transit for two reasons: 1. To make money or 2. To spend money. That's why public transit is an economic growth program with quality of life benefits.

OkTA DRIVES TRANSIT FORWARD
RESERVE THE ROC BUS
The Rolling Oklahoma Classroom (ROC) is designed to enhance awareness of public transit options in rural, tribal, and urban communities. It is made possible by a Federal Transit Administration grant.
It provides hands-on safety and security training for transit workers and addresses human trafficking awareness and prevention.
It is available to every community, tribal nation, and public event in Oklahoma at no cost.
