Rural roads - take a trip throughout Arizona and you are sure to find them. So, what's being done to protect those roads? MORE ⬇️
According to the most recent data from the University of Arizona, which showed of the nearly 7.3 million people who live in our state, more than 347,000 call rural communities home.ABC15 took these concerns to Secretary of the U.S. Department of Transportation Pete Buttigieg."This is really important to us because transportation is one of the things that affect whether you can succeed and that is certainly true in rural areas," said Sec. Buttigieg.
The Executive Director of the Navajo Nation Division of Transportation Garret Silversmith says buses carrying kids to and from school use almost all those unpaved roads. "We've been in touch with a number of leaders from Hopi, Navajo, Gila and other communities," said Sec. Buttigieg."Tribal communities are a real priority for us because frankly, they are doing a lot with a little. The funding they have had to work with and the roads they have to maintain are really out of whack. And we see tribal citizens facing higher rates of being vulnerable to crashes and pedestrian deaths and worse conditions on tribal roads and that requires action.
