Statement from Sen. Allen on retirement of Transportation Sec. Ridley

“Oklahoma has made great strides in recent years in improving our state’s transportation infrastructure, and Secretary Gary Ridley deserves a good deal of credit for leading the way. As chairman of the Senate Transportation Committee, it has been great to work with the secretary as we make sure state agencies charged with maintaining our transportation system have the tools and resources necessary to do the job. I want to congratulate Secretary Ridley and wish him well on his retirement.” – Sen. Mark Allen, R-Spiro, chair, Senate Transportation Committee.
