Pathways Newsletter
Information and news for Tribal transportation communities.
The Pathways newsletter has recently been converted to an electronic newsletter (e-newsletter) and is now delivered via email.
Pathways was previously published quarterly by the Michigan Tech Tribal Technical Assistance Program in Michigan's Transportation Technology Institute at Michigan Technological University. Contact the Michigan Tech TTAP office for a free Pathways subscription, to obtain permission to reprint any articles, or to submit articles and suggestions.
Online issues from 2002 and earlier may have poor legibility on screen and the file sizes may be as high as 10MB. These earlier issues have been scanned from archived paper copies. Most of the early issues will print clearly, even if they don't appear very clear on your screen. Beginning with V10N2, the online and print quality is excellent, with file sizes usually between 2-3 MB. You can request very high resolution copies of 2003 and later issues, as well as copies of the pictures used in those issues. If you are interested in learning how to use our archival techniques, send us mail to ttap@mtu.edu.
The newsletters presented here are in Adobe PDF format. You can download
a free Adobe PDF Reader from www.adobe.com.
