Tribal transportation bridge award

The Pueblo of Zia, a federally recognized Native American tribe located in San Ysidro, New Mexico, was awarded a $178,137.99 Formula Grant on February 1, 2024 from the Federal Highway Administration (CFDA 20.205 - Highway Planning and Construction). This federal grant funding will support various transportation infrastructure projects for the Pueblo, such as bridge replacement and repairs. The Highway Planning and Construction program provides grants to state and local governments, as well as tribal entities, to enhance the safety, mobility, and sustainability of the nation's transportation network through initiatives like highway construction, bridge rehabilitation, and electric vehicle charging infrastructure. The Pueblo of Zia has previously received federal grants from this program to fund road maintenance and improvements across its 121,080-acre reservation.
