Transportation infrastructure is a serious impediment to sustainable economic development in Indian Country. Two-thirds of reservation roads are unpaved and of poor quality, which has a major impact on highway safety. According the Federal Highway Administration (FHA), the highway fatality rate on Indian reservation roads is four (4) times the national average. The Indian reservation roads system under Title 23, United States Code, comprises more than 50,000 miles of roads under jurisdiction of the Bureau of Indian Affairs and tribal, state, county and local governments. Therefore, a comprehensive strategy is needed to fulfill the FHA estimate of $6.8 billion in backlogged need.
