This chapter discusses Article XVI of the Oklahoma constitution, which concerns public roads. Building and maintaining a state highway system is a mandatory governmental function over which the state enjoys “sovereign immunity.” Section 1 states that “the Legislature is directed to establish a Department of Highways, and shall have the power to create improvement districts and provide for building and maintaining public roads, and may provide for the utilization of convict and punitive labor thereon.” Section 2 clarifies that the state does not attempt to preempt the federal government’s actions and rights with regard to the public highways. It also assures that this provision was not intended to take away the rights of a Native American tribe. Section 3 gives the legislature broad powers to use its discretion to make, and to generate money for, a system of levees, drains, and irrigation ditches. The state may pay for such items through taxation.

The process was developed for collecting and analyzing cellular coverage data by applying the results of analysis to analog cellular coverage in the state of Kansas. The type of analysis that is appropriate depends on the purpose for which the information is to be used. Two types of analyses were examined—fixed coverage and mobile coverage. Fixed coverage analysis is needed for such functions as automatic collision notification in which any individual cellular connection can occur from a fixed location. The study showed that the fixed cellular coverage of the Kansas state highway system was good. Only 0.4% of the highway by length had inadequate signal strength for using a 3-W phone (a typical car phone) and 1.7% for using a 0.6-W phone (a typical handheld unit). In contrast, the mobile coverage analysis identified numerous areas where a call from a moving vehicle would be severely limited in duration. This type of analysis is needed for applications such as communications for emergency medical services, for which a vehicle must sustain continuous communications. For example, more than 9% of the state highways by length cannot sustain a call of 30 min with a 0.6-W phone, and in some areas the percentage is considerably higher. For certain applications, this difference may simply translate to inconvenience, but for other purposes it can be very important. The results of the two types of analyses highlight different characteristics of the coverage footprint; one addresses absolute coverage and the other continuity of coverage. The results of the analysis technique relate more directly to the unique characteristics of wireless communications utilization in transportation applications.

On behalf of the City of Lockhart (the City), TRC Environmental Corporation (TRC) recently conducted an intensive archeological survey for the City’s sidewalk improvements project located in Lockhart, Caldwell County, Texas. According to design plans, the project will entail the construction of a 10-foot (ft) wide by 2,220 ft long concrete sidewalk that will enhance connectivity and accessibility through Lockhart City Park (Figures 1-1 and 1-2). The Area of Potential Effects (APE) is 0.98 acres in size (Appendix A: Design Plans). Concrete path construction will cause disturbance of up to one foot below the existing grade along the alignment of the path. As the project will be located on lands under purview of an entity of the State of Texas, the project is subject to compliance with the Antiquities Code of Texas (ACT). During coordination with the Texas Historical Commission (THC) it was determined that the APE located east of State Highway (Hwy) 183 would require survey prior to construction (Appendix B: Regulatory Correspondence). Archeological survey was conducted on October 8, 2019 by Benjamin Johnson and Steven Sarich and on October 17, 2019 by Pollyanna Clark, Josh Haefner, Benjamin Johnson and Steven Sarich. During the survey, five shovel tests were excavated and four no dig locations were recorded. Due to the proximity of the APE to marked graves, the presence of the broken grave marker deposited downslope, and the inaccuracy of the currently mapped cemetery boundary on the THC Atlas, TRC recommended that the portion of the APE that coincides with the Lockhart Cemetery be subject to machine scraping. On November 5, 2019 the survey area was revisited to conduct mechanical scraping where the APE was noted to be in proximity to marked burials. No evidence of any cultural materials or grave shafts were encountered during monitoring of scraping.

O estudo pretende compreender a dinâmica dos diversos tipos de ocupações implantadas no entorno da Rodovia Estadual GO- 060, entre a cidade de Goiânia (GO) e Trindade (GO), e os seus reflexos na mobilidade urbana. O problema se identifica na relação causa e efeito no conflito entre o espaço urbano e o sistema de transportes, em áreas conurbadas da Região Metropolitana de Goiânia (GO). O objetivo consiste em analisar as áreas de ocupação do recorte espacial, o fluxo veicular dos modos de transportes e o índice de mobilidade, em função das tipologias de ocupação, caracterizadas como polos geradores de viagens (PGVs). Para se identificar tais ocorrências, foram utilizadas metodologias adaptadas para análise espaço-temporal e redes. Os resultados mostraram as diferenças em áreas de ocupação nos PGVs Tipo Comércio/Indústria 25,74% e 30,77% e Tipo Residencial 11,41% e 38,78% para as Regiões Oeste/Mendanha e Trindade 2, para os períodos (2011/2016) e (2009/2015), respectivamente.  Essa dinâmica ocupacional gerou um aumento de +87% no total de viagens do fluxo dos diversos modos de transporte e um acréscimo de +79% no índice de mobilidade para o período de 2013 a 2016, mostrando a tendência de motorização das regiões e os reflexos na mobilidade urbana.

The problem is identified in the cause and effect relationship in the conflict between urban space and the transport system in conurbated areas of the Metropolitan Region of Goiânia (GO). The objective is to analyze the areas of occupation of the spatial area, the vehicular flow of the modes of transport and the mobility index, according to the types of occupation, characterized as travel generating poles (TGPs). To identify such occurrences, methodologies adapted for spatiotemporal analysis and networks were used. The results showed the differences in occupation areas in the Trade / Industry Type 25.74% and 30.77% and Residential Type 11.41% and 38.78% for the West / Mendanha and Trindade 2 Regions for the periods (2011/2016) and (2009/2015) respectively. This occupational dynamic generated an increase of + 87% in the total travel flow of the different modes of transport and an increase of + 79% in the mobility index for the period from 2013 to 2016, showing the trend of motorization in the regions and the reflexes in urban mobility.  Keywords: Spatial occupation.

Progressive Policy

Policing is a prominent but understudied part of American politics. This article asks: Why did some, but not all, American states adopt a state police force in the early twentieth century? The state police force—a statewide policing agency with general jurisdiction over crimes throughout a state—was a prized progressive policy reform for decades. Yet many states declined to adopt the innovation. That puzzle becomes even more interesting given that all forty-eight states adopted the closely related innovation of a state highway patrol during the same period. This article applies diffusion theory to explain the origins of a familiar feature of American policing. Using a multimethod research design, I found that labor-capital struggles and regional pressures for diffusion were most important in shaping the adoption of state police forces. By contrast, adoptions of highway patrols appear to have been influenced by factors such as urbanization and fiscal capacity.
