Tishomingo — Since 2002, the City of Tishomingo has had an interest in promoting a healthier lifestyle for its children. Thanks to the Oklahoma Transportation Commission, the city is taking another step in the right direction.

Tishomingo is one of 16 cities across the state of Oklahoma that has been awarded a Safer Route to School grant.
The OTC awarded $3 million in individual grants Dec. 6 and Tishomingo will receive $180,000.
