Indian Law & TTSL Sections: Tribal Transportation Equity Panel
This program, jointly hosted by the FBA Indian Law and Transportation and Transportation Security Law sections, is designed to share information with transportation and Tribal law practitioners regarding opportunities to use transportation programs to enhance Tribal sovereignty and address equity challenges in Indian country. Historically, transportation infrastructure in Tribal communities has been underfunded, which has resulted in hardships to Tribal communities. In recognition of this underinvestment and its consequences, the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law (BIL or Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act) increased investment in Tribal community transportation infrastructure. This program will highlight transportation programs in the BIL specifically designed to support Tribes, as well as select other programs in the BIL that Tribes are eligible to apply for funding under, and which may be used to advance equity and Tribal sovereignty. The discussion will also focus on the Tribal Transportation Self-Governance Program, which was authorized by the FAST Act and provides Tribes with greater control, flexibility, and decision-making authority over federal funds used to carry out Tribal transportation programs, functions, services and activities in Tribal communities. Opportunities to utilize recent Memorandums of Understanding related to Treaty Rights, Sacred Sites, and Protecting Native Languages to advance transportation equity in Tribal communities will also be discussed.
