Ride on the Streetcar
Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, United States
For a public transportation option, try Oklahoma City Embark, a public transit that includes buses, ferries and streetcar service. The Embark system is made up of wheelchair accessible vehicles, all of which have a wheelchair lift and features to accommodate everyone. This is a good option for those traveling a lot within the city, as you’ll be able to get on and off at various stops within the city itself. Wheelchair users can also qualify for a reduced fare card, which requires an application in advance. The typical rate for a single ride is around $1.00, so this option can also be a more affordable option compared to a rideshare or taxi service.
