BRT is designed to provide enhanced bus service in key corridors by reducing travel times and providing a high level of passenger amenities. While BRT operations differ throughout the country, they all have a few common elements which are incorporated in the Tulsa AERO system:

• Specially designed stations and buses with unique graphics and name referred to as the AERO
• Frequent service – The Peoria AERO BRT operates 7 days a week, every 15 minutes during weekday peak times and 20-30 minutes on the weekends.

New technology:

• Real-time schedule information displays at stations.
• Level boarding. Stations are designed to be level with doors on the buses, so there are no steps to navigate. Simply walk or roll right onto the bus.
• Improved station lighting.
• Improved pedestrian and bicycle connections to stations.
• Bicycle amenities at stations.

• Plays a vital role in connecting people to their jobs and businesses to their customers
• Sparks economic development for our city
• Cost effective, efficient and is proven to increase transit use
• Investment in the community

This high-capacity transit line connects people to jobs and many major destinations including Downtown, Cherry Street, Brookside, Pearl District, BOK Center, Tulsa Tech Peoria Campus, Shoppes on Peoria, Oral Roberts University, Cityplex Towers, Centennial Park, and the Denver Avenue station.

One in seven of the city’s residents and 20% of jobs are within a 10-minute walk of the corridor.

The corridor carries more passengers than any other existing transit route in the city.

The corridor was the top transit priority in the 2010 Tulsa Comprehensive Plan, PlaniTulsa.

Funding for the Peoria AERO BRT project comes from a combination of Improve Our Tulsa and Vision Tulsa programs
