DOT Awards $5 Million For Tribal Transit Projects
FTA recently awarded approximately $5 million in grants through the Tribal Transit Program for 36 public transit projects on American Indian and Alaskan Native lands in 19 states.
“Transportation is a lifeline in tribal communities, many of which are in rural areas of the country,” said DOT Secretary Elaine L. Chao. “The Tribal Transit Program makes a real difference for residents in these communities by helping to fund convenient, efficient and affordable public transportation.”
The largest individual grants were for $250,000 each, while the smallest was for $14,020. To see the list of grant recipients, click here. A video describing the tribal program is here.
This federal program makes funds available to federally recognized Indian tribes and Alaskan Native villages, groups or communities to support capital projects, operating costs and planning activities for public transportation services on and around Indian Country.
