The Tribal Transportation Safety Strategy Pilot Program offers funding for a single entity to address the critical public safety crisis in tribal communities.
The program objective is research to identify innovation and best practices to develop a next generation Tribal Transportation Strategic Safety Plan, including updates to risk-based safety planning, as well as case studies and examples of successful safety infrastructure improvements within tribal communities. The strategic planning should result in a toolbox of training, analysis tools, and guidelines to be implemented in a pilot in at least one federally recognized tribal community that has a high rate of traffic fatalities.
