About Our Services

District II maintains county roads and school bus routes to ensure that roads are safe to travel.  The main funding source comes from H.U.R.F (Highway Users Revenue Fund) and SAFETEA-LU (Federal Funds) from the Federal Government.

 

 

Introducing Our Business

According to policy and procedures of the Arizona Revised Statutes (ARS), the first Inter-Governmental Agreement (IGA) of 1982 between the Navajo Nation, Apache County and Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA) established county district offices for District I in Chinle, AZ, District II in Ganado, AZ and District III in St. Johns, AZ.  All three district offices maintain approximately 871.0 miles of dirt school bus routes within the Navajo Nation.

 

The District II office maintains approximately 362.1 miles within the following chapters: Tsaile / Wheatfields, Sawmill, Fort Defiance, Kinlichee, Cottonwood/Tselani, Steamboat, Lower Greasewood, Klagetoh, Wide Ruins, Houck, Nazlini, Ganado and Cornfields.

 

The District II offices are located in Fort Defiance and Ganado.
