• Downtown Oklahoma City is among just a few downtowns in a U.S. major city to make almost a full recovery since the pandemic. • The recovery metrics from the University of Toronto are based on a sample of location-based mobility data derived from cell phones, comparing foot traffic from 2023 to 2019 (pre-COVID). • Their study determined that downtown OKC saw a 93% recovery, ranking fifth on the survey. • The study also noted that downtown OKC had a near transit ridership recovery. • Downtown OKC has continued to see more people physically back in the office, more conventions and events taking place, and a variety of activities that are continuing to bring people downtown.
