Pawnee nation of oklahoma transportation program funding FY 2026

The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) awarded Pawnee Nation of Oklahoma $754,800 on November 13, 2025, under the Tribal Transportation Program (TTP, CFDA 20.289) to support transportation infrastructure and public road access serving the tribe's community. The funding is obligated through September 30, 2026, and will be deployed in accordance with the FHWA Tribal Transportation Program Agreement for Fiscal Year 2026. The TTP is designed to contribute to economic development, self-determination, and employment of Indian and Native American communities by providing safe and adequate transportation infrastructure within Indian reservations and tribal lands.

Under this project grant, Pawnee Nation of Oklahoma will utilize the federal funding to support transportation planning and infrastructure improvements benefiting tribal members and community operations. As a federally recognized Indian tribe headquartered in Pawnee, Oklahoma, serving approximately 3,576 enrolled members, the tribe will administer these federal dollars as a direct prime recipient. This award aligns with the tribe's established track record of managing federal grants across multiple portfolios, including prior transportation infrastructure awards from FHWA totaling $1.562 million as of April 2025.
