​Like other communities on the Navajo Nation, there is only one paved road running through the White Mesa community. All other roads are dirt. Maintenance of the dirt roads is rare and is done by pulling a grader with a pickup truck, but it makes the roads deteriorate faster. When it rained, water would run into the roads, forming giant puddles, and people would have to drive through the mud puddles. 

​

In 2018 Patrick Scott purchased a John Deere skid-steer to maintenance the roads. He used the skid-steer to rebuild the dirt roads and block off the water run-offs so people could drive on a dry surface during the rainy seasons. 

​

The project goal is to put gravel on the roads to prevent deterioration. The road improvement will benefit many relatives around the White Mesa community. ​
