Do district engineers ask each tribe for input to the Five-Year Program?
The Yuma District Office contacts the Cocopah Tribe monthly and the Colorado River Indian Tribes (CRIT) on a periodic basis to get input. In Phoenix, meetings are held with the tribes regularly in the MAG region, especially regarding land use planning. We are continually reinforcing the need to plan ahead. In Globe, the district office utilizes the road committee, health services, BIA and Chairmans offices. Input from the COGs is also used. Needs are accommodated more quickly and effectively through the use of sub-programs rather than major programs. This is a good strategy for rural areas and smaller project needs. There is approximately $550 million to maintain and improve roadways, half of which is in sub-programs like bridge, safety, environmental, etc. In rural areas, there is $90-$100 million a year in major reconstruction.
