OkTA Leaders
Board of Directors
& Committees
ARE YOU READY TO BE A LEADER ON
TEAM TRANSIT?
All OkTA members are encouraged to volunteer for a committee. Committee meetings are usually held once a month via Zoom. So, the time commitment is minimal, but your transit experience is priceless in driving our programming and helping with our advocacy and communications efforts! Committees are also a great pathway for members wanting to take the next step in their transit career journey to joining the Board of Directors.
