Idea to send:	Topic Urban Rail Content The Legislature should study what has been done in New Mexico regarding urban rail as an adjunct to the highway and urban street system. The legislature should use some of the energy one-time revenue to make grants to OKC and Tulsa Metros for intermodal transportation in developing a comprehensive light rail system that is the most cost effective and that can also stimulate further economic development. This is also a "green" program for Oklahoma that already has an air quality problem in its two major metro areas. Even other mid sized metros are moving aggressively to establish urban rail. Leave it to local government, perhaps through addtional state enabling legislation, to provide for operating funds after initial state capitalization of the urban rail systems.
