Project Profile

Northeast Rail Corridor Project

Oklahoma City, Oklahoma

---

Project Summary: The Central Oklahoma Transportation and Parking Authority (COTPA) has a potential opportunity to develop public transportation along an abandoned railroad right-of-way that would link downtown with activity centers including a zoo, a golf course, the Softball Hall of Fame, the Firefighter's Museum, and a Class I horse racing facility. The project has the potential to bring needed private sector development to Oklahoma City's northeast side.
