Pelivan Transit has developed and formed two consortiums with ten tribes in northeastern Oklahoma. This integration of a rural public transportation program (Section 5311) and two tribal transit programs (5311 c) was established with the Cherokee Nation from one grant and two other grants with the Nine Tribes of Northeast Oklahoma Consortium consisting of the Eastern Shawnee, Miami, Modoc, Ottawa, Peoria, Quapaw, Seneca-Cayuga, Shawnee, and Wyandotte tribes of Oklahoma. This collaboration will provide tribal transit services to seven counties in northeastern Oklahoma. Tribal Transit services will be provided by Pelivan Transit on behalf of the area tribes. Shared logos and tribal seals will be displayed on some of the vehicles purchased by the tribes and leased to Pelivan for transportation services.
