Bois Forte Transit Plan
Background & Purpose
In August 2008 the Bois Forte Band asked ARDC for assistance in developing a transit plan for the Reservation. The Bois Forte Reservation is divided into two separate sectors. The smaller sector and original location of the reservation still remains on Lake Vermilion but the larger portion of Bois Forte was transferred to the Nett Lake area approximately 55 miles northwest of Lake Vermilion. The majority of the employment opportunities are located on Lake Vermillion but the majority of the population lives in Nett Lake. This creates hardship for those needing to travel the 55 miles to gain employment. As a result the Bois Forte Band would like to work with ARDC to develop a transit plan that would satisfy the transportation needs of the community.
