The U.S. Department of Transportation's Federal Transit Administration (FTA) announced Dec. 14, the award of approximately $5 million to help American Indian and Alaskan Native tribal governments initiate, continue and improve transit service on tribal lands. The funding is provided through the FTA's Tribal Transit Program and will go to 36 competitively selected transit projects in 19 states.
The Tribal Transit 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.
