SUMMARY:Office of Tribal Transportation Webinar | Tribal Transportation Facility Bridge Program (TTFBP) Final Rule
DESCRIPTION:July 24 at 10:00 am – 11:30 am Eastern\nJoin Zoom Meeting\nMeeting ID: 160 643 8737\nPasscode: 672231\nOne tap mobile\n+16692545252\,\,1606438737#\,\,\,\,*672231# US (San Jose)\n+16469641167\,\,1606438737#\,\,\,\,*672231# US (US Spanish Line) \nJuly 24 at 2:00 pm – 3:30 pm Eastern\nJoin Zoom Meeting\nMeeting ID: 161 497 9563\nPasscode: 765187\nOne tap mobile\n+16692545252\,\,1614979563#\,\,\,\,*765187# US (San Jose)\n+16469641167\,\,1614979563#\,\,\,\,*765187# US (US Spanish Line) \nThe Final Rule to amend Title 23 Code of Federal Regulations Part 661\, Indian Reservation Road Bridge Program (IRRBP) was published in the Federal Register today\, July 12\, 2024 [Docket No. FHWA- 2019-0039] at https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2024/07/12/2024-14933/tribal-transportation-facility-bridge-program (-> lnks.gd) and takes effect on August 12\, 2024. \nThe Final Rule amended the existing IRRBP by renaming it the Tribal Transportation Facility Bridge Program (TTFBP) and to comply with the changes made in the Moving Ahead for Progress in the 21st Century Act (MAP-21)\, carried on through the Fixing America’s Surface Transportation Act (FAST Act)\, and the changes made by the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law (BIL). It also removed references to terms such as structurally deficient\, functionally obsolete\, and sufficiency rating. These updates aligned the TTFBP terminology for bridge conditions with the terminology used for State departments of transportation in the Federal-aid highway program. This change established a consistent terminology for classifying and referring to bridge conditions. \nEligible applicants are limited to federally recognized Tribes. Eligible uses include planning (including safety inspection of in-service bridges)\, design\, engineering\, preconstruction\, construction\, and inspection of new or replacement Tribal transportation facility (TTF) bridges\, the replacement\, rehabilitation\, seismic retrofit\, painting\, calcium magnesium acetate or sodium acetate/formate application\, sodium acetate/formate (or other environmentally acceptable\, minimally corrosive anti-icing and deicing composition)\, and implementation of any countermeasure\, including scour countermeasures\, for TTF bridges classified as in poor condition\, having a low load capacity\, or needing highway geometric improvements\, including multiple-pipe culverts. \nThe TTFBP has about $200 million each fiscal year\, FY22 thru FY26. The federal cost-share is 100 percent\, both for preliminary engineering (PE) and construction funding bridge applications. Tribal applicants are not required to provide a local match regardless of bridge ownership.

SUMMARY:Tribal Law & Policy Institute | Stalking Charges: An Opportunity\, Not an Afterthought
DESCRIPTION:July 25 at 12:00 pm\nRegister \nhe prosecution of stalking (stalking – a crime now covered under VAWA 2022 Special Tribal Criminal Jurisdiction) will be discussed by Natalie Ivey from the Stalking\, Prevention\, Awareness\, and Resource Center (SPARC)\, an Aequitas initiative and Jonathan H. Kurland\, an Attorney Advisor with AEquitas. Stalking is pervasive. Every day\, victims suffer immeasurable fear and distress over repeated\, unwanted\, and threatening conduct directed at them by their stalkers. Despite the frequency of stalking and its profound impact on victims\, offenders are rarely held accountable by the criminal justice system. In this session\, participants are challenged to adopt a new paradigm of offender behavior. By viewing an offender’s conduct against a victim through a holistic – rather than episodic – lens\, participants learn how stalking charges can provide the critical link between seemingly isolated instances. Instead of considering stalking crimes to be too complex or as an afterthought to other offenses\, participants will view these charges as key to holding offenders accountable for the full scope of their criminality. \nPresenters: \nNatalie Ivey (JD) is a Training and Criminal Justice Specialist for the Stalking\, Prevention\, Awareness\, and Resource Center (SPARC)\, an Aequitas initiative. \nJonathan H. Kurland is an Attorney Advisor with AEquitas. \nObjectives: \n\nIdentify stalking offenses and dynamics\nEnhance the investigation and prosecution of stalking\, both as a stand-alone offense and as a co-occurring offense\nIncrease the safety of stalking victims
