About the company
Central Oklahoma Transportation & Parking Authority, operating as Embark, is a U.S. local government transit authority based in Oklahoma City that receives Federal Transit Administration (FTA) grants as the prime recipient for transit operations, fleet modernization, capital infrastructure, and paratransit services across the Oklahoma City metropolitan area. The organization is a municipality and public transit authority with no federal contract prime awards; all recent federal activity is grant-funded through the FTA.
Embark's federal footprint centers on transit operations and capital asset acquisition. Representative recent grant work includes a $17.95 million FTA Formula Grant (CFDA 20.507, April 2026) funding one year of preventive maintenance, nine months of paratransit services, six service vehicles, fare payment system modernization, bus rapid transit enhancements, and planning studies through June 2026; a $5.033 million FTA Project Grant (CFDA 20.526, July 2025) for the purchase of nine replacement compressed natural gas buses; a $2.926 million Enhanced Mobility of Seniors and Individuals with Disabilities award (CFDA 20.513, September 2025) supporting operating assistance, preventive maintenance, accessible sidewalk projects, and lift-equipped vehicles for seven subrecipients; a $975 thousand FTA Capital Investment Grant (CFDA 20.500, August 2025) for transit-oriented development planning along the Classen Boulevard corridor covering framework design, housing affordability assessment, zoning policy review, and connectivity planning; and multiple State of Good Repair grants (CFDA 20.525) supporting Oklahoma River ferry infrastructure dredging and terminal rehabilitation.
The Federal Transit Administration dominates customer concentration, with 98 awards in the recent portfolio, though the combined potential-value ranking is heavily weighted toward General Services Administration Public Buildings Service Central Office Office of Leasing activity ($7.4 million across 30 awards), which represents property lease and facility management work outside core transit operations. Within the FTA grant footprint, Embark has worked with the City of Edmond as a subrecipient for operating assistance and fleet modernization funding across multiple formula grants. Activity has grown modestly from one grant award in 2022 to ten in 2024, with seven awards in 2025 and one most recent award in April 2026. Eight awards face ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, creating potential for recompete on those vehicles.
The vendor operates primarily as a grant recipient rather than a contract prime, with 287 prime federal awards (99% of the total) and two sub-awards. Grant work spans formula grants for preventive maintenance and paratransit operations, project grants for capital equipment (buses, vans, software systems), and competitive grants for specialized infrastructure projects such as ferry terminal construction and transit-oriented development planning. Embark's capability profile centers on public transit operations and management, preventive fleet maintenance, paratransit services for seniors and individuals with disabilities, fare collection technology implementation, and transit infrastructure planning and design in Oklahoma City.
