Oklahoma County PBA advisory committee approves policy letting departments prepurchase visitor parking tickets
Summary
The PBA Advisory Committee approved a policy allowing county departments to pre-purchase daily parking tickets from MetroOne for visitors to the South Garage (Metro 1); unused balances will be valid for one year and specific-space reservations will only be allowed case by case for mobility needs.
At the PBA Advisory Committee meeting (posted Nov. 7, 2025), the chair introduced a proposed policy to allow Oklahoma County departments to pre-purchase daily parking tickets for visitors to the South Garage (referred to in the transcript as "Metro 1").
The chair described the policy: departments may pre-purchase any number of daily tickets from MetroOne for a particular day; if tickets are not fully used the remaining balance will be valid for one year. "So validations would only be purchased as needed?" the chair asked; the chair answered, "Yes." He added that while pre-purchasing provides access, it does not reserve a specific space for general purposes; space reservation nearest the annex can be arranged case by case for mobility needs.
The proposal was offered as a practical response to recent visits by legislators and other groups. The committee moved to accept the proposal and approved it by voice vote. The transcript records the approval by vocal assent but does not provide a detailed roll-call tally linked to the motion.
