2025 Proposed Route 019 and 024 Service Changes

Based on all comments and input gathered at the community meeting and public hearing, the COPTA Board of Trustees will act on these changes in June 2025, and if approved these service updates will become effective for OKC bus service on Tuesday, July 1, 2015.


April 4, 2025

Proposed Changes:

  • Route 019: EMBARK is proposing the elimination of Route 019.
    • Oklahoma County and EMBARK previously partnered to extend EMBARK bus service outside of the City of Oklahoma City limits into eastern Oklahoma. The passage of Oklahoma Senate Bill 1931 created significant budget constraints for Oklahoma County. Additional factors for the removal of service are low ridership and budgetary constraints.
  • Route 024: EMBARK is proposing a reduction of service for Route 024. The proposed changes include the removal of midday service from the current schedule. Morning and evening commuter services will remain available.
    • Additional factors for the removal of service are low ridership and budgetary constraints.
    • Proposed Route 024 Trips for Removal:
      • Inbound to OKC Transit Center: 10:53 a.m. – 11:45 a.m., 12:53 p.m. – 1:45 p.m., and 2:53 p.m. – 3:45 pm
      • Outbound to Norman Transit Center: 9:50 a.m. – 10:47 a.m., 11:50 a.m. – 12:47 p.m., and 1:50 p.m. – 2:47 p.m.
