Section 3: Summary <strong>of</strong> <strong>Transportation</strong> Services<br />

Types <strong>of</strong> Trips<br />

Survey respondents indicated a wide variety <strong>of</strong> trip types and destinations including<br />

medical, employment-related, educational, recreational, congregational, shopping and<br />

personal business trips. Some agencies only provide trips to and from their building or<br />

other specified human service locations, some only serve clients that meet selected<br />

criteria, but many agencies provide services for the public at large. As shown in Figure<br />

3.3, approximately 44 percent <strong>of</strong> agencies do not have restrictions on the type <strong>of</strong> trip or<br />

the clients served.<br />

Vehicle Fleets<br />

Most human service agencies that own vehicles have fewer than ten vehicles in their<br />

fleet. Many operate their services with just one or two vehicles, or vehicles provided by<br />

volunteers. Most <strong>of</strong> the tribal governments operating transit indicated a fleet size<br />

between five and twenty vehicles. The small urban systems in Lawton and Norman each<br />

had approximately 30 revenue vehicles. The large urban operators in Tulsa and<br />

<strong>Oklahoma</strong> City have fleets <strong>of</strong> approximately 100 vehicles each, while the largest transit<br />

operator, KiBois Area Rapid Transit (KATS), operates 183 vehicles across 12 counties in<br />

east-central <strong>Oklahoma</strong>. Other transit operators with more than 30 vehicles in their fleet<br />

included Grand Gateway (Pelivan), United Community Action Program (Cimarron Public<br />

Transit), Home <strong>of</strong> Hope, First Capital Trolley, <strong>Oklahoma</strong> <strong>Department</strong> <strong>of</strong> Veteran’s Affairs,<br />

INCA Community Services (JAMM Transit), Muskogee County Public Transit, and Calla-Ride<br />

Public Transit.<br />

Figure 3.4 on page 26 shows the characteristics <strong>of</strong> vehicles across the State. Agencies<br />

that responded to this survey indicated that there are at least 1,332 vehicles and 786<br />

American with Disabilities Act <strong>of</strong> 1990 (ADA) compliant vehicles available for<br />
