Transit card

Oklahoma City's public bus system, EMBARK, uses the reloadable EMBARK Card (single ride about $1.50), but Bluff Creek Park in north Oklahoma City, the festival venue, is not well served by bus routes. This is effectively a car-access race for foreign visitors, so a rental car or rideshare is the practical option.
