Chickaloon native village transportation program funding FY 2026

Chickaloon Native Village received a $1.54 million Project Grant from the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) under the Tribal Transportation Program (TTP), CFDA 20.289, awarded on November 13, 2025, with a completion deadline of September 30, 2026. This award provides funding to support transportation infrastructure development and maintenance activities serving the Chickaloon Native Village and surrounding Alaska Native communities within the Matanuska-Susitna Borough. The TTP funding enables eligible transportation activities including road construction, bridge improvements, highway maintenance operations, and transportation planning initiatives designed to enhance safe and adequate public road access to and within Alaska Native Village lands.

The grant supports the tribe's broader transportation infrastructure objectives as part of FHWA's Office of Tribal Transportation Program Agreement for Fiscal Year 2026. These investments align with the TTP's primary mission to contribute to economic development, self-determination, and employment opportunities for Native American populations by providing essential transportation infrastructure and public road access that connect tribal communities to services, employment, educational, and economic opportunities across the 5,957-square-mile service area.
