Oklahoma City Transportation

There are six interstate highways that pass through or terminate in Oklahoma City. In addition, there is an international airport as well as excellent train links.

Arriving by Air

The Oklahoma area is served by the Will Rogers World Airport (OKC), located just 8 kilometers (5 miles) from downtown Oklahoma City.

Arriving by Car

If driving from Albuquerque, New Mexico or Amarillo, Texas, the east bound I-40 passes through Oklahoma City on its way to Little Rock, Memphis and beyond. From Houston and Dallas, Texas, take the I-45 north to Oklahoma City. From Kansas City and Wichita, the I-35 passes through Oklahoma City on its way south to Austin and San Antonio.

Getting Around Oklahoma City

Getting around Oklahoma City is fairly easy. Traffic is lighter than in many other US cities. There is an excellent bus system, MetroTransit, that operates throughout the city and to several of the surrounding towns. For a more interesting trip, the Oklahoma Spirit, a fleet of nine vintage-style rubber wheeled trolleys, was created with the visitor in mind. Just one or two quarters (25 to 50 cents) are enough for traveling around downtown. Pedicabs and water taxis can be enjoyed in Bricktown.
