The Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) project will be Central Oklahoma’s first BRT line and will provide a premium transit service to Northwest OKC residents through more frequent service with enhanced vehicles, stations and passenger amenities.
RAPID will create a world where people move freely and effortlessly in their everyday lives, building meaningful connections among communities of people, businesses, and destinations. With its hub at the city's core, the long-range vision for the RAPID transit system is to bridge communities throughout Central Oklahoma, easily connecting diverse areas of people and experiences and making an otherwise expansive metropolitan area feel like a cohesive, welcoming neighborhood.
The first RAPID service line will provide a premium transit service to Oklahoma City (OKC) residents through faster and more frequent service with enhanced vehicles, stations, and passenger amenities. The Northwest line connects downtown Oklahoma City and the Lake Hefner area, serving regional medical centers, commercial centers, the downtown city center, and residents along the Classen Boulevard and Northwest Expressway urban arterials.
The RAPID NW line will be 9.5 miles each way, with 32 stops and priority traffic signals planned for 38 intersections for 9 vehicles. The line will connect with the larger fixed-route bus network, specifically routes 005, 007, 008, 010, and 023, the OKC Streetcar, and Spokies bike share. See the future BRT Route Map (May 2022).
