Transportation, Climate Change, and Health Resources

The Pala Band of Mission Indians and the Jamul Indian Village of California (JIVoC) were funded by Caltrans’s 2019 Adaption Planning Grant (per Senate Bill 1) to complete the Tribal Transportation Climate Adaptation Project. A key goal of that project was to share learnings and resources for the benefit of other Tribes throughout the U.S.

Intertribal Resource Sharing

The Tribal Climate Health Project encourages U.S. Tribes to use any of the following resources to support their transportation climate adaptation efforts.
