Do MPO/COGs have input on BIA planning process?
• Do the Tribal Council and/or ITCA approve the TIPs? Is there a formal rating criterion? Tribes and ITCA do not approve the IRR-TIP. Approval is by BIADOT and Federal Lands Highways. Tribal Councils are the approving authority for tribal TIPs. • Can the BIA 5704 form be changed to show functional classification for BIA and state systems for the same route or segment? This question refers to BIAs road inventory form, which is tied to the BIADOT database. It would have to be changed at BIA. New regulations bring it more closely in alignment with ADOTs, but not exactly yet. We have tried in the past to get it the same as FHWA.
