This November, we honor the rich history, traditions, and contributions of Native American communities. For those of us in transportation, it’s also a time to reflect on how we can collaborate to support equitable infrastructure and sustainable mobility solutions for tribal nations. Whether you're working on projects impacting Native lands or just starting to learn about their unique transportation needs, let’s take this month to listen, learn, and grow together.  Explore resources, get involved, and celebrate the heritage that shapes our shared future! #NativeAmericanHeritageMonth #YoungProfessionals #TransportationLeadership #YPT
