Lesson 3 - Comprehensive and Sectoral Planning Flashcards
Tribal Planning
engages tribal government leads, residents, and businesses in preparing plans and administering planning processes in support of the tribal community. Tribal governments develop comprehensive plans, much like in cities.
Jamestown S’Kallam Tribe
The Comprehensive Plan is a tool that is used by Jamestown S’Klallam Tribal citizens, Tribal staff, and the Tribal Council. It allows us to understand what needs to be done for the Tribe to be successful. By understanding the plan, everyone can participate in reaching our goals, everyone can play a part in the success of the Tribe.
The Jamestown S’Klallam Tribe recognizes that this is a rapidly changing world, one that requires the ability to adapt readily to new issues and new opportunities. The Comprehensive Plan will map out a destination that allows for multiple paths as well as new road building.
The Comprehensive Plan is updated with input from Tribal citizens, by the Tribal Council and Executive Committee to reflect new needs and opportunities.
Tribal Transportation process
The US Department of Transportation supports a specific Tribal Transportation process that allows federal agencies to consult with Tribes on transportation policy, regulation and projects.
Affirmed in treaties, Supreme Court decisions, and executive orders, the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) has a government-to-government relationship with Indian Tribal Governments and requires that the FHWA and other Federal agencies consult with Tribes regarding policy and regulatory matters. Additionally, 23 USC 134 and 23 USC 135 establish consultation requirements with tribes through the Statewide and Metropolitan transportation planning and programming processes.
