Rolling Oklahoma Classroom (ROC Bus)
Rolling Oklahoma Classroom takes hands-on transit safety and security training into rural, urban and tribal communities across the state.
The Rolling Oklahoma Classroom is a one-of-a-kind project supported by a Federal Transit Administration grant. The bus is designed to enhance awareness of public transit options in rural, tribal, and urban communities. It will also provide hands-on safety and security training for transit workers and address human trafficking awareness and prevention across the state. It is available to every community, tribal nation, and public event in Oklahoma by request and at no cost. Organizations interested in requesting a ROC Bus visit are encouraged to complete the request form below or contact the OTA at oktransit@oktransit.org for more information.
The project is made possible through strong public and private partnerships that includes a $350,475 grant from the Federal Transit Administration, as well as matching funds from state organizations and private business. EMBARK has committed to servicing the vehicle throughout the first 30 months of the program, and several other stakeholders, including Tulsa Transit, Grand Gateway EDA, the Chickasaw Nation, Oklahoma Transit Association, and several private companies have made significant in-kind and monetary donations for the project.
