Tulsa Transit marks 2 million riders in 2023, rebrands services and highlights BRT expansion
Summary
City presenters celebrated 2 million riders in 2023, introduced new service names — MetroLink Tulsa, MicroLink and Link Assist — and previewed Peoria ARO BRT gains and a planned Route 66 BRT line.
City transit officials said Tulsa Transit recorded about 2,000,000 riders in 2023 and announced new brand names for city bus services as the agency expands bus rapid transit (BRT).
Speakers described the Peoria ARO BRT as a “transformative” project that has, the presentation said, doubled ridership along its corridor. The city also previewed a planned Route 66 BRT line, saying it is intended to reduce travel time and change how some residents travel.
Presenters announced a naming strategy for services: MetroLink Tulsa will be the main bus service, with MicroLink and Link Assist as supplemental services. The city framed the rebranding as part of a broader effort to “link people, places and communities” across the region.
No individual action items, funding votes or schedules for the Route 66 line were stated in the presentation. Officials invited riders and partners to follow updates through Tulsa Transit communications.
