Tribes

The traffic death rate for Native Americans in Washington is 3 times the rate for non-Native Americans.

We work with tribal governments and state agencies to reduce the high rate of traffic fatalities and serious injuries for Native Americans. Our work is carried out under the Centennial Accord.
