Oglala sioux transportation program funding FY 2026

The Federal Highway Administration awarded the Oglala Sioux Tribe of Pine Ridge Indian Reservation $3,035,362.90 on February 10, 2026, under the Tribal Transportation Program (CFDA 20.289) to fund transportation activities across the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation in South Dakota through September 30, 2026.

The award supports the tribe's transportation program for fiscal year 2026 under the ongoing Oglala Sioux Tribal Transportation (OTT) Program Agreement. The Tribal Transportation Program contributes to economic development, self-determination, and employment of Indians and Native Americans by providing safe and adequate transportation and public road access to and within Indian reservations and lands.

The recipient, the Oglala Sioux Tribe of Pine Ridge Indian Reservation operating as a BIA Division, administers the tribe's federal transportation grants and serves as the administrative intermediary for federal grant programs. The tribe's recent FHWA awards total $16.3 million in combined transportation grants across fiscal years 2024 and 2026, supporting road construction, bridge improvements, highway maintenance operations, and transportation planning initiatives across the reservation's 3,450 square miles serving over 46,000 enrolled members.
