The October Chamber Forum is scheduled for Oct. 20 at Vast and will focus on the latest news surrounding the regional transit initiatives for the Oklahoma City metro and the Regional Transportation Authority, the organization responsible for creating a coordinated regional transit plan for its six member cities. Attendees will learn about the vision for our region's transportation policies, investments, and projects. Serving on the panel will be former Oklahoma Gov. Brad Henry, who chairs the Regional Transportation Authority; RTA Vice Chair Marion Hutchison; and Jason Ferbrache, director/administrator for the Central Oklahoma Transportation and Parking Authority.

Time: 11:30 am - 1:00 pm

Location:
Vast
333 W. Sheridan Ave.
Oklahoma City, OK 73102

Earlier this year, the RTA approved the Transit System Plan that will serve as the guiding document for the next 10 to 25 years to eventually bring bus rapid transit, commuter rail and a light rail system to the OKC metro. Four regional corridors were identified in the plan that would quickly and efficiently connect people to various “regional activity centers” across the metro.

Tickets for the October Chamber Forum, which will also be held at Vast from 11:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. , are $35 for Chamber members and $55 for nonmembers. To register or learn more, visit the event page at okcchamber.com/events.
