A Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) that appeared in the Federal Register this week announced the availability of $8.9 million in competitive grants from the Tribal Transportation Program Safety Funds program.

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 http://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.
