As the Mother Road celebrates its centennial in 2026, Tulsa sits poised for increased visitation and attention from Route 66 fans worldwide ✨

A popular face along the historic highway is Rhys Martin, a Tulsa native who has spent more than a decade getting to know the stories of Route 66 — first as a tourist, then as a volunteer with multiple Route 66 organizations including the Tulsa Route 66 Commission and the Oklahoma Route 66 Association.

Rhys Martin’s love of the Mother Road, combined with his years of selfless devotion coordinating cross-institutional efforts to ensure that the highway — especially its Tulsa segment — is set up for success in 2026 and beyond, is why we chose him as our Tulsan of the Year.
