Fellow cyclists, this is a crucial time in Oklahoma Bicycling Coalition’s (OBC) efforts to have Route 66 designated as a US Bike Route. In December, OBC presented the Oklahoma Department of Transportation (ODOT) twenty-nine support letters from municipalities, biking clubs, and visitor bureaus in support of the route designation. |
On January 16th State Senator Patrick Anderson introduced SJR 13 for legislative consideration, directing the Department of Transportation to apply for official designation. |
The Department of Transportation will make a decision on nominating Route 66 as a US bike route in the near future. |
If you are interested in raising Oklahoma’s image as a biking state to a national level, or interested in increasing bicycling tourism in Oklahoma, now is the time to contact your legislator and ODOT. Two sample letters are attached, but a personal note is often more effective. |
