Tribal transportation program and safety award

The Shoshone-Paiute Tribes received a $162,025.31 Formula Grant award from the Federal Highway Administration (CFDA 20.205 - Highway Planning and Construction) on February 1, 2024. This funding will support transportation infrastructure projects and safety initiatives on the Duck Valley Indian Reservation, which straddles the Nevada-Idaho border. As a federally recognized tribal government, the Shoshone-Paiute Tribes will use this grant to construct, maintain, and improve roads, bridges, and airports serving their approximately 2,000 tribal members. The grant aligns with the Federal Highway Administration's broader mission to enhance mobility, safety, and sustainability of the nation's transportation network, with a focus on supporting tribal transportation needs through the Tribal Transportation Program.
