FirstlevelTribal Coordinator Exiting UGPTI
I'm writing to inform you that I am leaving my position as Tribal Outreach Programs Coordinator at the Upper Great Plains Transportation Institute (UGPTI) effective August 30. I have thoroughly enjoyed my time at the Institute and building relationships with all of you. I want to assure each of you that UGPTI will continue its' mission to improve traffic safety and overall livability throughout tribal communities. As you may know, UGPTI hosts several programs that promote tribal livability. Each program coordinator looks forward to maintaining relationships with our tribal clients. For continued assistance, please use our  Technical Assistance Request Form or contact UGPTI via this new email address. NDLTAP will continue to send out information about upcoming training opportunities so please expect communications from them. Additionally, UGPTI staff will be attending and presenting at several upcoming events. I hope that you will be able to attend.

I wish you all the best of luck going forward. What you do is important for your communities, culture and people. 

Kind regards,
NeTia Bauman
Tribal Outreach Programs Coordinator
