Public Transportation on Indian Reservations (Tribal Transit) Program
General Grant Program Information
The Tribal Transit Competitive Program (TTP) provides funding for projects that enhance safety, renew transit systems, reduce greenhouse gas emissions from public transportation, improve equity, and connect communities.
Eligibility Information
Eligible applicants include federally recognized Tribes or Alaska Native villages, groups, or communities as identified by the U.S. Department of the Interior (DOI) Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA) providing service in a rural area with a population of less than 50,000. A service area can include some portions of urban areas (as identified in the most recent decennial census), so long as rural areas are also served.
Eligible uses include capital investment (e.g., start-ups, replacement, or expansion), operating expenses, and public transportation planning projects. All eligible applicants may apply for operating assistance. Applications that include requests for more than one project type must identify the specific funds requested for each project type (planning, capital, or operating). Tribes applying for capital replacement or expansion needs must demonstrate a sustainable source of operating funds for existing or expanded services.
Funding Information
The Federal Transit Administration announced the opportunity to apply for $9.17 million in competitive grants for the fiscal year 2024 Public Transportation on Indian Reservations (Tribal Transit) Program.
There is no cost-sharing requirement; federal match is 100 percent.
