COTPA/Oklahoma City Transit Center

The new Oklahoma City Transit Center is a $4.8 million facility that accommodates 17 buses internally, express and trolley buses with an off-street depressed lane, and a kiss-n-ride drop off lane. The site layout and accessible circulation pattern provide customer friendly directions and public safety enhancements. The bus platform amenities include landscaping, benches, interactive signage, and Public Art and advertisement panels. The canopies provide ample shelter, generous illumination, and serves as a Symbolic Gateway for patrons. The Transit Center houses restrooms, public telephones, vending machines, a concierge area, and the interior seating is surrounded by a glass enclosure. The views allow patrons to observe arriving buses. Materials used throughout the facility are polished and rough faced “Trendstone” masonry units, wood glue-laminated beams and ceiling, terrazzo flooring, brushed aluminum storefront and windscreens, standing seam roofs, and “Supersky” translucent panels. The design is organized, simple and deliberate, promoting user-friendly movement.
