On Sunday December 3 the OKC Moves Service changes go into effect including the merging of route three and route five and the launch of RAPID Northwest.
Every day, changes occur to roads, businesses and communities that can affect the transit system. We respond by regularly reviewing these changes and then determining if adjustments need to be made.
Conditions can change quickly. If there is a significant accumulation of snow, ice or freezing rain, some bus routes will be put on detour and others may be canceled. It is possible that buses won't be able to serve parts of a route, if they become too dangerous to drive on. Before you leave, get the latest updates on delays and cancelations.
