Oklahoma Department of Transportation| Press Release

October 16, 2024

More than $36 million in funding will be distributed to local communities for alternative transportation projects across Oklahoma following a presentation to the Oklahoma Transportation Commission. The new funding will benefit 43 projects as part of the Transportation Alternatives Program, which is designed to promote connectivity and active transportation projects including sidewalks, safe routes to school, pedestrian and bicycle trails and environmental or historical preservation projects.

“This plan is designed to help improve community connectivity as well as active transportation infrastructure that is not on the highway system,” said Oklahoma Department of Transportation Executive Director Tim Gatz. “These projects highlight the important partnerships we have with communities across the state.”

This year’s TAP application process was highly competitive with a total of 87 eligible project applications submitted to ODOT. The department worked with the Transportation Alternative Advisory Committee, which is comprised of the Oklahoma Department of Commerce, the Oklahoma Department of Health, Safe Routes Partnership and the American Association of Retired Persons, to review and score the applications.
