INDIAN RESERVATION ROADS PROGRAM

The Indian Reservation Roads (IRR) Program was established under the authorization of, and pursuant to Title I of the Indian Self-Determination & Education Assistance Act, as amended (25 USC 450 et seq.). 

Under program standards, the Peoria Tribe agrees to administer the program, services, functions, and activities in connection with the Indian Reservation Roads Program.

The next project underway is the road fronting the Pow-wow grounds.  The BIA is now in the process of acquiring required easements.

Scope of Work:

The Tribe shall carry out a transportation planning process that provides for consideration of projects and strategies that will include, but not limited to:

• Needs of the Peoria Housing Authority.
• Support economic development projects of the Tribe.

• Identify the transportation needs to efficiently serve the mobility of the people.
