Greetings,

We're launching Momentum as a monthly e-newsletter to keep all our members and stakeholders informed and up to date on transportation-related activities at ACOG as well as news and information from around the region, state and country.

 

This is a vital time for Central Oklahoma. As we continue to grow, the transportation needs of citizens and local governments alike remind us how important good planning will be to the future of the region. With that in mind, we hope Momentum articulates the wider challenges facing transportation professionals and policymakers and provides some insight into possible solutions.

 

We here at ACOG feel a sense of pride looking to the future of Central Oklahoma. Momentum will help to share that sense of achievement with not only where we've been but where we're going.
