Course Description:
Tribes receive support through the Tribal Transportation Program (TTP) for a variety of transportation programs and projects that can improve the quality of life and enhance economic opportunity through safe and adequate transportation for native villages, communities, reservations, and Indian lands. Attendees of this course will develop a deeper understanding of the administration of the program and gain awareness of how the TTP can be a foundation toward advanced Tribal transportation departments.
This intensive 2-day, in-person course builds upon FHWA’s “Tribal Transportation Program (TTP) 101” online course. This course will take an in-depth look at the administration of the TTP and associated projects and activities. Topics covered include:
This course is designed for Tribal Transportation employees, State and local government transportation professions that interact with Tribal Transportation Departments, who would like detailed information about the TTP.
