October 27, 2015 10583 Page 7. Item #4. Director s Report Mr. Tim Stewart thanked Mr. Kelly for the invitation to hold the Authority Meeting in the great city of Bristow. He welcomed members of the Legislature and various members of the community. Mr. Stewart commented that the Turnpike Authority was recently invited to the City of Jenks to participate in a ground breaking where, through combined funding, OTA was able to partner with Jenks on an interchange at Elm Street. At this interchange, OTA was preparing to embark on something that was new for the state of Oklahoma with all electronic tolling (AET). At the Elm Street Interchange, there would no longer be a need for customers to stop and pay at the coin machine, they would either have a pikepass or have their vehicle license plate imaged and then invoiced for their travel. He stated that more information about AET would be communicated in the future. AET would make this interchange safer and more environmentally friendly. Mr. Stewart also stated that he was appreciative of OTA s Consulting Engineers, external auditors and trustees that were in place to make sure OTA fulfills its commitments to Bondholders. He thanked the Board for approving the Preliminary 2016 Budget. There would be a 30-day comment period for the preliminary budget with final adoption occurring at the December 1, 2015 Board Meeting. Mr. Stewart stated that staff put together a sound budget to be able to fulfill OTA s needs going forward in 2016, while also being able to keep the requested commitment of a 0% increase. He thanked Ms. Wendy Smith and all the Division Directors for their due diligence in preparing the 2016 Budget. Mr. Stewart thanked Major Harrell for facilitating a meeting with OTA and Chief Ricky Adams about the need for enforcement to keep our turnpikes some of the safest in the Nation. He also thanked Ms. Tandy Donald, Ms. Terri Bruce, Ms. Regina Hicks and Ms. Jenny Johnson for their hard work and preparation to hold the meeting in Bristow. Mr. Kelly asked Mr. Stewart to speak to the amount of out of state travelers vs domestic. Mr. Stewart stated that Oklahoma s toll rate per mile was one of the lowest in the Nation. In comparison to others in the US on a national average, the toll rate the consumer pays to travel Oklahoma s network for a passenger vehicle is approximately 59% below the national average. For commercial vehicles, customers pay over 62% below the national average. Of the people that choose to use the Oklahoma Turnpike System, 40% were out of state customers, including people from California, Ohio, Michigan, Texas, Kansas and Colorado. In 2014, those 40% brought in $101 million to the State of Oklahoma, which was then reinvested to maintain our System. Mr. Kelly introduced Secretary Neal McCaleb as the former Secretary of Transportation and former Director of the Turnpike Authority and of the Department of Transportation and thanked him for attending the meeting. He also introduced the current Secretary of Transportation, Mr. Gary Ridley. Mr. Ridley thanked Mr. Kelly for the opportunity to be in Bristow.
