What can be done to streamline or shorten the length of time to obtain road projects to get started?
This issue needs to be addressed on a tribe-by-tribe and project-by-project basis, as there are certain activities and time frames associated with the project development. Typical time frames for a BIA-WRO road construction project are delineated on the Pre-Construction Activities flowchart (a copy of this handout is included in the Appendix). In the BIA-NRO, the existing tribal ROW, NEPA, and other processes need to be restructured to allow for a more streamlined approach to getting transportation needs met in a timelier manner.
