TULSA, Okla. — The Tulsa Health Department is partnering with Tulsa Transit to launch a new incentive program for Tulsa Transit riders to increase COVID-19 vaccine access.
Effective immediately, THD officials said Tulsa Transit riders who receive a free COVID-19 vaccination at one of three local vaccine clinics would receive a free 10-ride pass. They will also receive a free one-day pass once they receive their second dose. Riders must present their bus ticket or receipt at the time of vaccination to receive the free ride passes.
“The COVID-19 vaccines are safe, effective and free to everyone. The Tulsa Health Department is committed to reducing barriers and increasing the accessibility of the vaccine in collaboration with our community partners,” said THD Executive Director Dr. Bruce Dart. “We are grateful to Tulsa Transit for their generous contribution to provide incentives to encourage vaccinations so we can help protect more residents in our community.”
