Coordination with Tribes and Tribal Organizations ¡ 9 designated by State of Alabama; 1 also federally recognized (Poarch Band of Creek Indians) ¡FAST Act and FHWA continue to strengthen the role of Tribes and Tribal Organizations in the transportation planning process ¡Tribal Transportation Self-Governance Program (TTSGP) rulemaking committee convened to develop a detailed interpretation of how and when Tribes should be fully involved in federal processes and programs ¡For the SWTP, ALDOT is coordinating to receive relevant transportation and socioeconomic data for travel demand modeling and growth projections ¡Will also coordinate with Tribes prior to Final Plan being completed or published

Next Steps ¡Wrap up Interim Report #2 ¡Develop and analyze “what if” improvement scenarios ¡Develop statewide program, policy and strategy recommendations ¡Prepare draft plan for presentation at second round of stakeholder and public meetings ¡Coordinate with Tribes and Tribal Organizations
