Transportation ideas from Edmond IdeaRaiser

Since today is the first day of summer and many of you will be traveling across America's highways on vacation with family and friends, here are two transportation ideas from the recent IdeaRaiser in Edmond to consider and comment on.

One idea is to coordinate pike pass with other states that have toll roads. For example, pike pass would work on turnpikes in Oklahoma and Kansas, etc.

Another idea is to have continued driver's education and testing online over recurring intervals, such as every 5 years.

Why don't we just make the turnpikes free already? Or better yet, get the government out of the highway business.

Aren't toll roads actually getting (some of) government out of the highway business? Freeways are paid for by everybody - because they are built and maintained with tax dollars. But only those that use them pay for toll roads - sounds like a pretty good idea to me.
