The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) recently awarded 51 tribes $8.9 million for 58 projects through the Tribal Transportation Program Safety Fund for fiscal year 2021.
This includes 11 tribes that have not previously participated in the program.
“There are projects that we know are the most likely to reduce fatalities and serious injuries and this historic funding opportunity aims to improve transportation safety in Tribal areas,” Deputy FHWA Administrator Stephanie Pollack said. “Simple changes like adding rumble strips, better lighting, or clearer stop signs can and will save lives in communities across the country.”
