AI Summary
This bill aims to increase tribal representation and consultation in certain transportation planning and safety activities. Specifically, it amends existing laws to require counties to consult with affected tribal governments when preparing their comprehensive transportation programs, ensuring that tribal areas and needs are considered. Additionally, it establishes a new program, administered by a commission (likely the Washington State Transportation Commission, though not explicitly defined in this snippet), that will provide grants to tribes to develop and implement their own traffic safety programs, incorporating indigenous knowledge and addressing unique community needs, with funds also available to match federal grants.
