At EMBARK, we’re more than a bus company. We’re a close-knit transit family that plans, schedules, operates, promotes and maintains downtown parking and the public transportation system throughout the Oklahoma City metro area. Our people have passion to be world-class transportation that is accessible to all, and all want to access it.
Concerts, Thunder games, and other events bring all kinds of energy and excitement to downtown Oklahoma City. They also bring tons of people looking for a place to park. Don't waste time looking for that perfect spot – discover your parking spot here.
EMBARK uses pay-by-plate parking to offer customers ease and efficiency when parking downtown. This system allows the driver to pay at the on-street electronic meter without having to return to their vehicle.
Meter hooding is a privilege extended to allow providers of commercial services and extended events to park vehicles necessary to the performance of the service, on an intermittent and temporary basis, near to the work site where off-street parking is not available or inadequate. Vehicles parked at meter hoods are permitted only as required to perform a service. Meter hooding shall not be used for general employee or convenience parking.
EMBARK Parking Facilities are operated by PCI Municipal Services. Their personal attention and flexibility to our industry is complimentary to EMBARK's vision to be world class transportation.
Earlier this year, the City of Oklahoma City and EMBARK announced the selection of Flowbird to provide a smart parking solution offering a fast, easy, and secure option to pay for on-street parking via a mobile device.
The app, which will now begin development and does not yet have a name, will let users pay for the City’s metered on-street parking spaces in the downtown area on the spot with their phone.
With the addition of more than 600 on-street parking spots resulting from downtown street renovations, the Central Oklahoma Transportation and Parking Authority and Project 180 decided to retire the old coin meter for a more advanced “pay station” in the newly streetscaped area.
