| Content | This past summer I took a road trip to Washington, DC and back. I traveled through 12 states. No question about it….Oklahoma had the worst highways and rest stops of any of the 12 states and was the only one that charged tolls! It was embarrassing. I had no idea. I would suggest we contact some of these other states and learn from them.
Don’t our federal tax dollars help with transportation needs? I slept for 4 hours in the middle of the night at a rest stop in Indiana that had an employee there 24 hours a day. The bathrooms were huge and immaculate. The parking lot was full of travelers stopping to sleep.
The Turnpike Authority needs to be eliminated along with the tolls. This could be done gradually and move those employees over to ODOT. “Highway robbery” just took on a whole new meaning for me. |
