Our Story
From the Start
1968
The Metropolitan Tulsa Transit Authority (MetroLink Tulsa) was formed by the city of Tulsa. MetroLink Tulsa, formerly Tulsa Transit, was set up as a public trust to continue the operations of the private bus service that had been run by the Missouri, Kansas & Oklahoma bus company (MK&O Lines).
1998
MetroLink Tulsa opened the Denver Avenue Station located at 4th and Denver in downtown Tulsa.
2001
The Memorial Midtown Station was opened at 33rd & Memorial to facilitate better cross-town passenger movement.
2019
The citizens of Tulsa approved Vision Tulsa, a multi-project continuation of an existing sales tax. Among the many projects funded by Vision Tulsa are Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) line on Peoria, Named the AERO and soon to follow will be a second BRT line on 11th Street, and many more projects are to come.
2023
MetroLink Tulsa kicked off a Comprehensive Operating Analysis plan which led to the launch of a new service type to the state called Micro Transit. Now known as MicroLink, this service offers on-demand type of vehicle request and operates within designated zones around the city of Tulsa and Broken Arrow to connect patrons to fixed route service or take them to their destination within the zone.
Today
MetroLink Tulsa services the City of Tulsa and surrounding areas such as Jenks, Sand Springs, and Broken Arrow. We operate Fixed Route, MicroLink, and LinkAssist services, and MetroLink Tulsa administration is overseen by a Board of Trustees.
