Abstract

This advisory manual supplements the Native American Pedestrian Safety Assessment Guidelines and is designed for use by Tribal agencies, assessors, and related multidisciplinary teams. This manual provides direction on how to interpret and apply the guidelines and helps identify documentation and evidence to support safety program evaluations on Tribal lands.

The manual aims to (1) translate guideline principles into actionable steps, (2) present interpretive questions for program evaluation aligned with the USDOT’s Safe System Approach, (3) help Tribal organizations create data-driven and evidence-based documentation to support the assessment’s findings, and (4) ensure that evaluations are culturally sensitive and aligned with Tribal governance structures.
