TULSA — The Indian Nations Council of Governments (INCOG) is kicking off their Congestion Management Process Plan (CMPP) and wants input from you on some of the biggest traffic problems in the area.
The CMPP, which is required under federal transportation law for urbanized areas with populations over 200,000, is a way for INCOG to look at the traffic congestion and travel patterns in the Tulsa region and develop strategies to improve mobility options for residents, businesses, emergency services and visitors.
“By gathering input and using data, the CMPP helps INCOG find smart solutions so people can get where they need to go more easily, keep traffic moving, and make our roads safer for everyone — whether you drive, bike, walk, or take the bus,” the agency says. “Your feedback will help us develop strategies that support a vibrant, connected community.”
INCOG is encouraging the public to participate in an online survey at http://incogcmp2026.com/ that has an interactive map to identify top congestion locations, and comment where they see traffic congestion occurring. During the CMPP study, INCOG will engage community members at several events around the Tulsa region.
INCOG evaluates its CMPP through performance-based measures aligned with five national transportation goals.
They include safety for all users, maintaining a state of good repair for transportation roadways, reducing travel time delays and improving efficiency, enhancing consistency in travel times and supporting efficient movement of goods and regional economic growth.
“Congestion affects everybody,” stated Thomas Dow, director of transportation for INCOG. “It results in longer commute times, reduced freight reliability, increased crash risk, higher fuel costs and reduced transit reliability. Each of us has an important role to play to help us identify the most congested roadways, whether we are walking, bicycling, taking the bus, or driving.
“We need your help identifying congested roads you encounter in the Tulsa region whether you are commuting to work, dropping your kids off at school, running errands or attending special events.”

Off ramp from 169 to 91st between 4:30 and 5:30. Eastbound 91st turning lane to 169 should be added back. Bust that concrete and add back that lane so it can be dual turning lane to help congestion.
