ROC
The Rolling Oklahoma Classroom (ROC) 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 visit are encouraged to complete the request form.
