Abstract:

The need to reduce fatal and injury crashes on Tribal lands has been recognized for years. The U.S. has ; realized a decline in fatal crashes over the past several years but fatal crashes continue to increase on ; Tribal lands. Little progress has been made in improving safety on Tribal lands. Limited resources and ; lack of coordination across jurisdictions has made it difficult for Native American communities to address ; their roadway safety concerns. The rural nature of many of their roadways and lack of crash data has also ; made it difficult for Tribes to implement an effective safety improvement program. A methodology that is ; able to address these challenges is presented in this report to assist Tribes in reducing fatal and injury ; crashes. The proposed methodology has been implemented successfully in the Wind River Indian ; Reservation. Key to the success of such a process is collaboration among safety stakeholders, namely ; the State departments of transportation, Tribal leadership, Local Technical Assistance Program (LTAP), ; Tribal Technical Assistance Program (TTAP), Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA), and local and Tribal law ; enforcement.
