BIADOT-Central Office has had on-going issues with responding to data calls from various entities: Departmental, Congressional, Other Federal Agencies, etc.
General mileage, class, surface type, and ownership constitute a majority of the requests
“Condition” reports are reported on a quarterly basis, primarily for the BIA Road Maintenance program
Level-of-Service for Deferred Maintenance calculation purposes
GPRA reporting; % Acceptable for Roads & Bridges
IA-Performance Measures; Goals met/Goals not-met
Reporting relating to Departmental/Bureau level “Asset Management” has been a topic of discussion for the past few years

Also in talks with the National Tribal GIS association on mapping of BIA routes
Ensure goal of accurate reporting and role in Asset Management is complete and justifiable.
