Tribal transportation program

The Department of Transportation Federal Highway Administration awarded the Forest County Potawatomi Community $1,438,035.91 on June 5, 2026, under the Tribal Transportation Program (CFDA 20.289), a formula grant supporting safe and adequate transportation and public road access within Indian reservations and tribal lands.

The award funds tribal transportation infrastructure and operations across the Forest County Potawatomi Indian reservation in northern Wisconsin, including road construction, bridge replacement, and pedestrian and bicycle facilities. The tribe, headquartered in Crandon, Wisconsin, operates as a federally recognized tribal government entity and receives federal grant funding across health, social services, transportation, environmental, cultural, and community development programs.

Performance runs through October 30, 2029, with place of performance in Crandon, Wisconsin. The Tribal Transportation Program aims to contribute to economic development, self-determination, and employment of Indians and Native Americans by providing transportation access and connectivity to reservation communities.
