Program Purpose

AVCP has entered into an agreement with the Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA) for the assumption of the Indian Reservation Roads (IRR) program. The principal reason for AVCP’s action was to assure that funds generated by the IRR program through the application of the BIA’s funding distribution formula be used to build projects in the AVCP Region. The success of the AVCP Transportation Program is dependent upon leveraging funds from the IRR program with the much larger pot of funds available to the state. The Transportation Department purpose is to promote the economic development of villages through planning, designing, constructing and maintaining priority projects in the AVCP region.

1. Developing long range transportation plans for member villages
