Who We Are

This includes the region’s $10 billion long-range Metropolitan Transportation Plan (MTP), as well as more than $20 million in annual federal grants for local transportation improvements by partnering with the Federal Highway Administration, Federal Transit Administration and the Oklahoma Department of Transportation.
