Chickasaw nation transportation program funding FY 2025

Grant Award Summary

The Chickasaw Nation received a $2.72 million Project Grant award, effective July 1, 2025, from the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) under the Highway Planning and Construction program (CFDA 20.205). The award provides tribal transportation funding through the FHWA Office of Tribal Transportation (OTT) Program Agreement for fiscal year 2025. These funds support comprehensive transportation infrastructure development and improvement initiatives within the Chickasaw Nation's territory in south-central Oklahoma, consistent with the federal-aid highway program's mandate to assist eligible entities in constructing, preserving, and improving transportation infrastructure on eligible roadways.

As a federally recognized Native American tribe, the Chickasaw Nation administers this funding to advance its tribal transportation priorities in accordance with established FHWA stewardship and oversight requirements. The tribe's participation in the Highway Planning and Construction program enables it to implement projects that may include highway construction, bridge rehabilitation, roadway improvements, and safety enhancements while maintaining compliance with environmental review, design, and planning standards mandated under the program.
