Funds are available to federally recognized Indian tribes through a competitive, discretionary program. Awarded annually, projects are chosen whose outcomes will address the prevention and reduction of death or serious injuries in transportation related incidents, such as motor vehicle crashes. Since last July, FHWA has awarded $8.5 million to 71 tribes for 91 projects, including development of safety plans, to prevent and reduce deaths and serious injuries, in transportation-related crashes on tribal lands.

Applications and guidelines can be found online at https://flh.fhwa.dot.gov/programs/ttp/safety/ttpsf.htm or at www.grants.gov.

Complete proposals must be received by 11:59 PM EDT on Sept. 16, 2016, or 60 days after the Federal Register notice.
