Transportation is the number one barrier to accessing health care, accessing educational opportunities, and accessing employment. Our roads are very substandard. When you're living in a community that is at or below poverty, people are living from one junker car to the next junker car. If the roads were better, their cars would last longer. If they had reliable cars, they could drive to employment, health care, and those educational opportunities. The roads are very substandard on reserve.
