The components U 0 and V 0 of the solar motion and the Oort constant A 0 are determined using the data of a homogeneous open-cluster catalog with corrected distance moduli. The results are based on a sample of 146 open clusters with known radial velocities located in the Galactic plane (b<7°) within 4 kpc of the Sun. The solar Galactocentric distance R 0 is determined using two kinematic methods. The following results are obtained: A 0=17.0±0.9 km/s kpc, U 0=10.5±1.0 km/s, V 0=11.5±1.1 km/s, R 0=8.3±0.3 pc.
