The Tulsa Transportation Management
Area (TTMA) Trails Master Plan
offers recommendations for improving
community access to outdoor
resources by building a network of
off-road multipurpose paved trails.
The purpose of this Master Plan is
to address the trail needs of
community residents related to
recreation, transportation, and
economic pursuits. The plan
addresses policies, programs, and
physical improvements that should be
implemented to improve access to
recreation resources and improve
transportation efficiency throughout
the community.
The TTMA Trails Master Plan
identifies 44 trail corridors and 27
on-street corridors throughout the
metro area that should be developed
in the next 15 years. It was
developed by the Indian Nations
Council of Governments (INCOG) in association
with a steering committee of
citizens, a team of national and
local consultants, and residents of
the metro area. It responds to
specific needs that were defined by
residents through a series of public
workshops. The TTMA Trails Master
Plan used a combination of GIS
analysis and a custom phasing
evaluation matrix in an effort to
create a method of looking at the
elements of the planning and
prioritization process in the most
objective manner.
In January of 2000, five local
governments within the TTMA
submitted competitive applications
to the Oklahoma Department of
Transportation T-21 Enhancement
program for trails defined within
the Master Plan. Of the five
communities, four were funded for a
total of $5,058,393.44 representing
26% of the total statewide funding
of $19.7 million.
