Transportation

The county highway system comprises almost 84,000 miles of roadway and more than 14,000 bridges. Within the county highway system, a “County Major Collector System” connects small communities and provides corridors for local industries to move products to market. More than 15,000 miles and nearly 4,400 bridges are on the major collector system, including 142 miles in Oklahoma County.

Cleveland County Road System:

  • County Bridges – 75 Structurally Deficient 21, Functionally Obsolete 3
  • County Highway System (section line roads & county roads) 335.64 miles (72% hard surface)
  • City Streets on County System (State) 4361 miles within 437 small cities & towns

Government spending is at an all-time high, but too much of it only benefits special interests and the elite establishment looking for personal gain.

As County Commissioner, I’m fighting against wasteful spending and social programs with recurring costs that are outside of the statutory responsibility of core functions of government to better fund priorities like roads and bridges.

I work to bring transparency to infrastructure projects – ensuring taxes and fees collected for transportation are prioritized for the public’s best benefit.

I have prioritized snow removal, sanding, and salting roads during winter weather events to ensure safe travel for County Highway District One resident. I successfully worked over the past years developing a great working partnership with Oklahoma City to reconstruct/maintain the county highway roads within South OKC. Just in the last 3 years, OKC has approved over $7 million in asphalt and construction materials for the South OKC county highway roads. Without the partnership with the county, this would have cost OKC over $15 million if separately bd out. This partnership stretches transportation funding to do more. This is just one way that I’m always working to stretch your tax money.
