5. GTAC Work For This Year
GTAC Transportation Subcommittee Charter…on agenda for Wednesday, March 21st.
Subcommittee has been working with State of Alaska staff (DOT&PF and DNR)  on wording, responsibilities, and defining obligations regarding Tribes desire to maintain proposed routes as required regulations.  Of course the deadline has now been extended until 2019, but we will continue to work on language that both the State and Tribes are comfortable with the State posting publically, thus satisfying the CFR requirements.

6. GTAC Work For This Year Continued
Possibility of Tribes performing airport maintenance in villages across our state and the use of DOT/FAA equipment. 
Identifying potential pilot projects between State of Alaska DOT&PF and/or DNR and Tribes.   While we understand that this is not entirely new, as there has been partnerships in the past, we look to highlight some current projects and the ways we can have a more equal, mutual beneficial agreements.
