Tribal Transportation Program (TTP)
The Tribal Transportation Program (TTP) addresses the Tribe's transportation needs by providing transportation funds for planning, design, construction, transit, and maintenance activities.
The purpose of the TTP program is to provide safe and adequate transportation and public road access to and within our community. A prime objective of the Tribal Transportation Program is to contribute to the economic development, self-determination, and employment of PIA tribal members and Native Americans.
The Tribal Transportation Department employs about four employees.
Transportation planning begins with a 20-year LONG-RANGE TRANSPORTATION PLAN (LRTP). The plan outlines the Tribe's transportation vision and goals within the community of Petersburg and its surrounding boundaries.
Transportation planning continues with a four-year Tribal Transportation Improvement Program (TTIP). The financially constrained TIP is a prioritized list of projects funded over the next four years.

City Creek Trail (complete)
The City Creek Trail reconstruction, over a mile in length, was designed for PIA by Harai and Associates and built by Reid Brothers Construction and Rainforest Construction.
The City Creek Trail has four entrances. The troll bridge entrance at Sandy Beach Park is inaccessible to persons with disabilities, and the other three on Frederick Point Road are handicap accessible.
The trail is eight feet wide and has approximately 4,500 feet of gravel and 1500 feet of raised wooden boardwalk, offering a view of Frederick Sound.
Upper City Creek Trail (Design - current)
The City Creek Loop Trail ties into the City Creek Trail. From the intersection of Reservoir Road and Frederick Point Drive, the trail would meander up the hill toward the baler facility until it gained the top of the ridge. Then it would turn east and run along the ridge until it would lower in elevation through muskeg and timber until it reconnects with the existing City Creek Trail.
The photo is a view from the ridge of Frederick Sound. The trail will be approximately one mile long and rough, with cedar boards over muskeg and earth. This trail will not be handicap accessible.
