Tulsa Transit unveils Peoria Arrow BRT and celebrates 2 million riders milestone

Tulsa is set to revolutionize its public transportation system with the introduction of the new bus rapid transit (BRT) initiative, marking a significant milestone in the city’s transit evolution. During a recent meeting, officials celebrated the success of the Peoria Arrow BRT, which has doubled ridership and connected communities to greater opportunities.

The city is now looking ahead to the upcoming Route 66 BRT line, which promises to further enhance the transit network by reducing travel times across Tulsa. This initiative is part of a broader vision to implement a citywide transit system that reflects the rich history of transportation in Tulsa, dating back to 1968.

In 2023, Tulsa Transit proudly announced a remarkable achievement of serving 2,000,000 riders, highlighting the vital role of public transportation in the community. The excitement surrounding these developments is palpable, as officials emphasize the importance of setting a national example in transit innovation.

As part of this transformation, Tulsa Transit is also rebranding its services, introducing new names such as Tulsa for the main bus service, along with MicroLink and Link Assist. These changes aim to enhance the experience for riders and ensure that the transit system continues to safely connect people, places, and communities throughout Oklahoma.

With these advancements, Tulsa is poised to not only improve local transit but also inspire other cities across the nation to follow suit. The future of public transportation in Tulsa looks bright, and the community eagerly anticipates the positive impacts these changes will bring.
