The Department of Transportation Federal Transit Administration awarded the Central Oklahoma Transportation & Parking Authority (Embark) a $15.2 million Project Grant under the Federal Transit Formula Grants (CFDA 20.507) program. The grant will fund preventive maintenance, nine months of paratransit service, one year of salaries under the Unified Planning Work Program, and partial rehabilitation of the Downtown Transit Center and administrative building from April 2023 to June 2025. Funding will also purchase six service vehicles, computer equipment, mobile data management software, and shop equipment to support Embark operations. As subrecipient, the City of Edmond will use funds to cover eligible preventive maintenance and operating costs to continue local transit services. The award allows Embark to meet service standards and maintain its fleet while benefitting riders through continued transit access and improved facilities.
