Tribal transportation is a vital part of Washington State’s transportation system and centering Indigenous voices needs to be a high priority for our state. Many tribes are still fighting for federal recognition and working against massive historical and systemic inequities, including mobility access. 

Join us for a discussion about tribal transportation structure and funding in Washington State, transportation safety and access on tribal land, COVID-19’s impacts, and ways to support tribal transportation work.
