The City of Oklahoma City finalized a USD 24.9 million contract with Brookville Equipment Corporation for the supply of five Liberty trams to support the City’s MAPS 3 Modern Tram program. The electric trams will operate downtown along a 3.2-km east-west loop and a 8 km north-south loop. The new vehicles are scheduled to begin service in 2018.
The Liberty trams are 70 percent low-floor area with 100 percent curb-level boarding for passengers. In addition, the vehicles offer seating for 30 passengers, with the capacity to comfortably transport up to 100 passengers.
The trams will be powered by overhead wires on part of Oklahoma City’s routes and will use a lithium-ion battery onboard energy storage system (OESS) for the balance of the routes.
