Tribal transportation program

The Oglala Sioux Tribe of Pine Ridge Indian Reservation received a $904,000 block grant award on July 13, 2022 from the Department of Transportation Federal Highway Administration. The funding supports the Tribal Transportation Program under the Highway Planning and Construction federal grant program (CFDA 20.205).

The grant provides funding for construction, preservation, and improvement of highways and roads on tribal lands. As a block grant, it affords flexibility for the Tribe to determine specific infrastructure projects to address local transportation priorities while advancing the program's goal of assisting tribal governments in transportation planning and development. The place of performance is Pine Ridge, South Dakota, where the Tribe will direct investment of the $904,000 in federal funds toward qualifying transportation and road projects over the grant period.
