Nome eskimo community FY2025 tribal transportation program funding

The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) awarded Nome Eskimo Community a Project Grant of $490,944.47 on April 3, 2025, under the Highway Planning and Construction program (CFDA 20.205). This award transfers Fiscal Year 2025 funds to support the Nome Eskimo Community Tribal Transportation Program Agreement, which is administered by the tribal government serving the Nome, Alaska region. The funding supports highway-related infrastructure projects and services as part of the federal-aid highway program authorized under the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA).

Under the Tribal Transportation Program, these funds support transportation infrastructure development, including highway construction, preservation, and improvement activities within the Nome Eskimo Community's jurisdiction. As a federally recognized tribal entity, Nome Eskimo Community qualifies as an eligible recipient under the Highway Planning and Construction program, which extends federal-aid highway funding to tribal governments for projects meeting established planning, design, environmental, and safety requirements. The awarded amount represents the community's FY2025 allocation under the established program agreement with the FHWA.
