In an effort to expand mobility options for all Tulsans, the mobility strategy includes a recommendation that an university innovation challenge be held to seek diverse solutions to improve Tulsa’s transportation options in order to improve communities, equity and access for underserved Tulsans, attract new businesses, reduce vehicle emissions and make roadways safer.

This year’s competition will focus on improving equity and access for underserved Tulsans. Currently, too many Tulsans live too far away from reliable public transportation, thereby limiting their access to healthy food, health care and employment.
