Functional Classification Road Map Functional classification provides a framework to categorize state highways, county roads and city streets. Federal law requires Metropolitan Planning Organizations (MPOs) and State Departments of Transportation (SDOTs) to undertake a systematic review and update of the FHWA Functional Classification Map following every decennial census. After consulting with each of the cities and counties within the Tulsa Transportation Management Area (TTMA) and with the Oklahoma Department of Transportation (ODOT), INCOG staff has prepared an updated FHWA Functional Classification Map. INCOG staff will forward the recommended FHWA Functional Classification Map to ODOT for inclusion as part of the Oklahoma Statewide FHWA Functional Classification Map which is currently going through its own update process. Once ODOT completes the statewide update process, it will be forwarded to FHWA for final approval. To view the map, go to: https://lnkd.in/g2B7XiwN
