ScenarioTransportationHighlights
This slideshow highlights the range of transportation alternatives and outcomes for each of the four PLANiTulsa scenarios
Comparing the Scenarios
How the Scenarios Compare
Tulsa’s transportation investments go almost entirely to roads
New Road Investments
New Transit Investments
31,000 Daily Transit Trips
• 1% Transit share in ridership
• Limited regional transit in Tulsa area
• Trend ridership for 2030:
Scenario A
How the Scenarios Compare
About 41% of transportation investments are devoted to transit
New Road Investments

New Road Investments
New Transit Investments
Scenario C
How the Scenarios Compare
Most transportation investments are devoted to transit
New Road Investments
New Transit Investments
Scenario D
How the Scenarios Compare
Investment priorities will have a have a big impact on how Tulsans get around
How the Scenarios Compare
Each scenario also has a big impact on how much time Tulsans will spend in the car

PLANiTULSA Transportation Element
Excerpted presentation from PLANiTulsa’s transportation consultant, Kimley-Horn and Associates
Preparing the PLANiTulsa Transportation Element includes 3 components:
• Public participation (hands-on and survey)• Technical Analysis• Local expert input

Highway and Roadway Network Capacity• Many opportunities for redesign and construction to achieve higher performance
Multi-modal Demand•Opportunity for street scale urban redesign of arterials that will create new economic opportunities
Transit Capacity•Potential for increased commuter transit along congested freeway corridors and new transit markets
Technical Findings
POTENTIAL TRANSPORTATION TOOLS
Street Level Urban Redesign
Potential corridors for this tool
Low Congestion = Flexibility in Design
Gridley, California:
State Highway 99
Street Level Urban Redesign
A redesign can do many things to improve the function,
appearance and safety of a roadway. It can be
accomplished by:
- Removing lanes from a multi-lane roadway
- 4 lane to 3 lane conversions
- Create parking and/or bike lanes out of existing
lanes
- Widening sidewalks to encourage pedestrian
activity
Potential Transportation Tools
Four-Lane Undivided Roadway Conversion to a Three-Lane Cross Section are viable for roadways with a maximum ADT of 16,000. They have been accomplished up to 24,000 ADT.
Street-scale Urban Redesign

Old Redwood Highway looking north
Highway Urban Redesign:Example: Seoul, South Korea

Volume/Capacity Analysis:Lanes with Level of Service D or Worse
Regional Commuter Rail
Commuter rail service connects the large master planned
communities around the region, the surrounding towns
and villages, and even nearby cities, with the urban core.
Potential Transportation Tools
Rapid Transit Technologies
Bus Rapid Transit has the unique ability to function in
either an exclusive right-of-way or in mixed traffic,
however, the most common application assumes an
exclusive right-of-way for operational efficiency and
safety.
