Forbes ranked fifty cities across the US.  Tulsa ranked seventh overall, with a fourth for travel time, eighth for delays, and forty-eighth for green commutes.

I don't know how relevant this is for attracting new businesses and new residents, and I'm a little dismayed at the poor ranking for green commuting.

I would imagine it's because of the lack of public transportation to / from Tulsa and our surrounding communities. We do tend to spread out a bit.

if they want us to have better green commutes, they just need to buy everyone a porsche 918 spyder, or a tesla ;)
