Tribal Transportation Program: Many may not know that tribes do transportation planning/delivery. Largest program in FHWA Office of Federal Lands Highway https://highways.dot.gov/federal-lands/programs-tribal.">https://highways.dot.gov/federal-l...
Resource w/lots of data: Tribal Transportation Strategic Safety Plan https://www.tribalsafety.org/pedestrian .">https://www.tribalsafety.org/pedestria... #RoadSafety #Indigenous #IndigenousLivesMatter
. @AmericaWalks webinar: Address pedestrian safety challenges through partnerships, practical solutions, stakeholders, supporting efforts, visioning. Consult youth + Elder Councils to help identify routes that people want to use. #RoadSafety #Indigenous #IndigenousLivesMatter
Next up in @AmericaWalks webinar: Margo Hill of @EWUEagles tribal planning program. She notes safety issues: lack of shoulders, unique land tenure issues, checkerboard of tribal lands w/highways, many tribes lack engineers. #RoadSafety #Indigenous #IndigenousLivesMatter
Margo Hill, attorney, giving a fast snapshot of complexity of legal structures around tribal transportation. Whether tribe has treaty or executive order will affect land use/land tenure. Each tribe& #39;s land use history is its own. # #RoadSafety #Indigenous #IndigenousLivesMatter
Margo Hill: Indian Country land use questions: Fee simple absolute (clear title/pay taxes) or trust land (held by US govt for tribe or individual). Checkerboard nature of Indian reservation land ownership creates complex right-of-way questions for transportation work.

Now presenting in @AmericaWalks webinar: Sharon Hausam, Univ of New Mexico Indigenous Design + Planning Institute, sharing traffic safety challenges for Pueblo of Laguna. Nowhere to walk or bike; banned in some stretches of highway. #RoadSafety #Indigenous #IndigenousLivesMatter
Sharon Hausam: 6 villages in Pueblo of Laguna identified priorities including all ages/abilities bike/pedestrian routes. Identified places they need to link w/low-stress, safe, comfortable facilities. #RoadSafety #Indigenous #IndigenousLivesMatter
Pueblo of Laguna top issues creating pedestrian safety concerns: Narrow roads/no shoulders. Car/truck/train traffic. No sidewalks/trails. Dogs and snakes. Tagged onto preservation projects; roundabout to improve bad intersection; some trail-building. #RoadSafety #Indigenous
Whenever I& #39;m tweeting a webinar I& #39;m balancing listening/learning w/capturing notes here. You really should view the archive if you want to learn everything presented in this @AmericaWalks webinar on tribal pedestrian safety. #RoadSafety #Indigenous #IndigenousLivesMatter
Sharon Hausam on keys to progress for Pueblo of Laguna bike/ped efforts: Community involvement. Partnerships. Prioritization. Engineering design to shovel-ready. Combining projects w/current road projects. Packaging for funding. Persistence. #RoadSafety #Indigenous
Hollyanna Littlebull, Yakama Nation: Yakima County had highest number of Native American traffic safety deaths in WA 2010-2016. #RoadSafety #Indigenous #IndigenousLivesMatter
Yakama tribal members surveyed on where they want to have trails. Desired connections reflect safety concerns and traditional travelways.
I can& #39;t possibly keep up with the images Hollyanna Littlebull is sharing of inadequate walking conditions for Yakama Nation. No shoulders/sidewalks on roads connecting schools, Indian Health Services, other key destinations. People walk for miles to reach services. #RoadSafety
Hollyanna Littlebull gives shoutout to WSDOT South Central Region for collaborating w/Yakama Nation to develop plans for improvement. #WSDOTactive #RoadSafety #Indigenous @WSDOT_East
Collaboration among the various government partners (tribe, county/city, state) in what will be addressed in a Road Safety Audit helps identify short/medium/long-term priorities, data to support grant applications. #RoadSafety #Indigenous
