| Tulsa is served by Tulsa International
Airport. Eleven commercial airlines and several charter airlines
serve more than 3 million travelers to almost 70 departures
every day.
Important highways passing through Tulsa are Interstate 44,
US 412, US 64, and US 75. It was also served by historic Route
66, and there are numerous reminders of this by the mid-20th
century era, especially motels and restaurants along 11th
Street and Admiral Drive. Cyrus Avery, known as "The
Father of Route 66," resided in Tulsa.
East of Tulsa, in Catoosa, the Tulsa Port of Catoosa is the
head of navigation for the McClellan-Kerr Navigation System,
connecting barge traffic from Tulsa to the Mississippi River.
