摘要：Few resources exist that address the livability and sustainability of rural and Tribal communities. In order to improve transportation safety and other transportation issues in these communities, they need programs that meet their specific needs and culture and the ability to sustain these programs. This paper identifies the many programs that address livability and sustainability. It identifies the challenges Tribes face in providing opportunities and quality living options.
