After eight years of planning and negotiations, streetcars are in Oklahoma City.

City officials say the streetcar project is on track for a planned December launch.

Streetcar track installation is proceeding, a new maintenance facility has opened and streetcar deliveries from the western Pennsylvania manufacturing plant have begun.

Testing of the $131 million system is scheduled through November, leading to start of service in December.
