This grant, the Tribal Transit Program (TTP), offered by the Federal Transit Administration, is designed to support public transportation on Indian Reservations. Authorized under MAP-21, it provides direct grants to Federally-recognized Indian tribes for various eligible purposes under FTA’s Formula Grants for Rural Areas Program (49 U.S.C. 5311). The TTP includes both a formula program and a discretionary competitive grant component, with allocations considering factors like vehicle revenue miles and low-income populations on tribal lands. These crucial funds are meant to complement, not replace, existing Section 5311 funds tribes may receive from States, enabling vital planning, capital, and operating assistance for tribal public transit services to enhance community mobility.

Formula factors include vehicle revenue miles and the number of low-income individuals residing on tribal lands. Discretionary funds are available annually on a competitive basis. TTP funds are to be allocated for grants to Federally-recognized Indian tribes for any purpose eligible under the Section 5311 program. The funds set aside for Indian tribes in the TTP are not meant to replace or reduce funds that Indian tribes receive from States through FTAs Section 5311 program.

Tribal transit funds will be competitively allocated to support planning, capital, and operating assistance for tribal public transit services. |
