Tribal Transportation
Nowhere in the United States is isolation more severe and mobility limitations more profound than within the tribal lands of Native Americans.
Many of these communities are characterized by great geographic distances, yet low automobile ownership, and by low income levels and economic distress.
Strategies to address these challenges aim to improve access to jobs, health care, businesses, educational opportunities and cultural activities, but can not succeed without community and public transportation.
Native American communities can explore transportation service development with resources that observe the unique conditions, administrative environment and sovereignty of the reservation.
