  • P3 Plan Revs up Stalled Oklahoma Highway
    Thursday, March 16, 2017 | as of 5:00 PM Infrastructure ET P3 Plan Revs Up Stalled Oklahoma Highway By Jim Watts March 14, 2017 DALLAS ­­ Oklahoma plans to complete an unfunded Tulsa highway project that’s been on the books for 50 years with a seven­way partnership that would include an expected $100 million investment from the one private sector partner. The private partner would recoup its investment by collecting tolls on the five­mile, four­lane segment, including a bridge over the Arkansas River, that would complete the Gilcrease Expressway highway loop around Tulsa. Oklahoma transportation secretary Gary Ridley said the project is expected to cost $240 million, but the total amount of funding from all seven partners, including money already spent on the extension, will be closer to $300 million. Six of the partners are public and the private partner probably will contribute about $100 million to the project, he said. “From the public sector, we’re putting in somewhere around $190 million,” Ridley said. “The private sector puts in whatever the balance is. Then the tolls or a portion of the tolls go to pay that off.” The private partner will be selected in six months to a year, Ridley said. Once the funding is in place, construction will take about two­and­a­half years. Public sector participants in the Gilcrease extension include the Oklahoma Department of Transportation, the city of Tulsa, Tulsa County, the Indian Nations Council of Governments, Oklahoma Turnpike Authority, and the Federal Highway Administration. Planning for the Gilcrease Expressway loop began in the 1950s but stalled at the Arkansas River crossing needed to complete the road around Tulsa.

  • Promoting Healthier Tomorrows Through Education and Research Today Dean’S Message
    Promoting healthier tomorrows through education and research today Dean’s Message Dear Alumni and Friends There is a saying – “If it’s not broken, don’t fix it.”That advice may work for appliances, but it doesn’t work for health. We are on the verge of a major realization in our country — that we must shift our focus more to promoting health and wellness, and preventing disease, injury and disability, rather than treating illness. It is a shift that moves us from a reactive to a proactive approach for health. It also is a shift that will not only improve health and save lives, it potentially will save our state and nation billions of dollars a year. The OU College of Public Health is proud to play an important role in educating the new generation of public health professionals to lead our nation in this new direction, in advancing research that furthers these goals, and in preparing public health professionals and volunteers for proper emergency response. We are one of only 38 accredited colleges of public health in the country and home to four federally funded centers that focus on protecting and improving the public’s health: the Southwest Center for Public Health Preparedness, the OU Prevention Research Center, the Center for American Indian Health Research and the Center for Biosecurity Research. Public health is important not only in times of emergency, but every day of every year. Clean air, safe food and clean drinking water, immunizing our children, protecting our communities and promoting healthy lifestyles — these all are critical public health issues.

That little group grew by word-of-mouth to nearly double attendance at every meeting for the first few months. The Oklahoma Business Ethics Consortium has grown to over 800 members representing more than 200 companies. And, this was all accomplished through the efforts of dedicated volunteers. What started in Oklahoma City as a grassroots effort, kicked into high gear during the summer of 2004, when business leaders and educators from Tulsa and Oklahoma City gathered for a strategic planning session in Stroud, Oklahoma.
