Abstract:Federally recognized Tribes receive Federal funding for transportation planning and projects through the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) Tribal Transportation Program (TTP). Dedicated pedestrian and bicycle infrastructure networks, such as trails, sidewalks, and shareduse paths, are eligible for this funding. Tribal communities face challenges that, in part, can be addressed by providing or improving safe, accessible, equitable, and comfortable pedestrian and bicycle infrastructure. These challenges include safety for all users, public health issues, and access to jobs. This white paper summarizes findings from a literature review and discussions with representatives from five Tribes and staff at the FHWA Office of Federal Lands Highway involved in the TTP. The trail projects featured in this white paper outline noteworthy practices that Tribes and their partners use to support the planning and development of trails in Tribal communities. The research provides information and resources for Tribes and Tribal trails champions interested in planning and building dedicated pedestrian and bicycle infrastructure.
