This report documents the Arizona Tribal Transportation Safety Summit held May 14-15, 2008, in Casa Grande, Arizona. The ultimate goal of the Summit was to help reduce crash-related injuries and deaths within tribal communities. The Summit pursued that goal by identifying key tribal safety challenges and the resources (human, material, and financial) available to address them, and by stimulating multidisciplinary collaboration among safety stakeholders. Specifically, the objectives of the Summit were: 1. To review Arizona’s priority tribal transportation safety issues and challenges; 2. To identify safety resources available to Tribes in Arizona; and 3. To develop and endorse a process for continuing the dialogue among the Federal, State, and Tribal transportation communities for discussing safety issues and solutions. The following report includes background information, themes discussed by Summit speakers and participants, and Summit results.
