FY 2017 The Oklahoma Department of Transportation (ODOT) submitted the subject project to USDOT in the first round of FASTLANE grant improvements (FY 2016). With this application, ODOT is resubmitting the project for consideration in FY 2017. This memo documents the changes and updates to the application from FY 2016. While minor changes have been made throughout the application document, the major substantive changes are summarized here. Project Description – Information about the expected users of the project and the transportation challenges has been added.
