The Indian Reservation Roads Program is part of the Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA) and is meant to meet the transportation needs of Native Americans in the United States, Native American Tribes and Alaska Natives.[1] These roads, also known as BIA Roads are given to tribes by providing funds for planning, designing, construction, and maintenance activities.[1]
The program is jointly administered by the Federal Lands Highway Program and the BIA.[1] These roads are public that provide access to and within Indian reservations, Indian trust land, restricted Indian land, and Alaska native villages.[1] Approximately 25,000 miles are under the jurisdiction of BIA and tribes and another 24,000 are under State and local ownership.
