On October 25, the City of Norman presented in a public meeting its proposal for significant expansion of public transit for the City of Norman and its residents. This plan was developed over several months by the Council Transportation Subcommittee in conjunction with Cleveland Area Rapid Transit (CART) staff.

The CART Long-Range Plan is a three-phase plan that will greatly enhance the CART system by offering substantially more service area, late-night transit operating hours, Sunday service and efficient route frequency.

Bike and bus is nothing new to CART, as all CART vehicles are equipped with a bicycle rack, but now cart.ou.edu offers its visitors detailed information about its user-friendly bicycle racks. Click here for bike and bus instructions.
