Here are the top 3 stories today in Oklahoma City:

The man was captured on camera allegedly stealing the vehicle from an OnCue at Northwest 10th Street and Portland Avenue on Mar. 5. Anyone who recognizes the suspect in the surveillance footage is asked to call Crime Stoppers at (405) 235-7300. (KOKH FOX25)
2. Oklahoma City leaders have approved a plan for a new rapid transit system. The EMBARK system will feature a 9.5-mile loop that will run from downtown Oklahoma City to Northwest Expressway and Meridian Avenue. The estimated cost of the project, which includes the purchase of all-new buses equipped with transit signal priority, is around $28 million. (KOCO Oklahoma City)
