Oklahoma Byways Program

"I have recently enjoyed reading the Route 66 stories in The Oklahoman. What a great way to tell Oklahoma's unique story. The Oklahoma Byways Program is working in partnership with communities to preserve the collective experiences of our treasured Route 66 road. Communities across Oklahoma are working diligently to determine how to capture the best of the past and apply it toward a better tomorrow. This is the challenge."

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.
