Oglala sioux transportation program funding FY 2026

The Federal Highway Administration awarded the Oglala Sioux Tribe of Pine Ridge Indian Reservation $3,326,815.70 on February 10, 2026, under the Tribal Transportation Program (CFDA 20.289) to fund transportation infrastructure and related activities across the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation in South Dakota through September 30, 2026.

The award provides transportation funding under the Oglala Tribal Transportation (OTT) program agreement for fiscal year 2026. The Tribal Transportation Program aims to provide safe and adequate transportation and public road access to and within Indian reservations and Indian lands, while supporting economic development, self-determination, and employment of Indians and Native Americans.

The recipient, the Oglala Sioux Tribe of Pine Ridge Indian Reservation, operates through its BIA Division as the administrative arm for federal tribal programs. The tribe's transportation infrastructure program serves the reservation's 3,450 square miles and over 46,000 enrolled members, with funding directed toward road construction, bridge improvements, highway maintenance operations, and transportation planning initiatives. The tribe has received combined transportation grants of $16.3 million from the Federal Highway Administration for fiscal years 2024 and 2026 across multiple awards issued January 24, 2024, July 2, 2024, and February 10, 2026.
