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 ;)
