Tunica-biloxi indian tribe transportation program funding FY 2026

The Federal Highway Administration awarded the Tunica-Biloxi Tribe of Louisiana Tribal Office $1,061,198.30 on November 13, 2025, under the Tribal Transportation Program (CFDA 20.289) to provide transportation funding for the tribe's fiscal year 2026 transportation program.

The award funds all transportation programming provided by FHWA to the Tunica-Biloxi Indian Tribe under the FHWA OTT Program Agreement for FY26. 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 period of performance runs through September 30, 2026, with place of performance in Louisiana. This award represents one of multiple Federal Highway Administration grants totaling over $3.5 million that the tribe has secured for tribal transportation program funding under the FHWA OTT Program Agreement across fiscal years 2024 through 2026. The Tunica-Biloxi Tribe, a federally recognized tribal government located in Marksville, Louisiana, serves approximately 1,600 enrolled tribal members, with roughly 40 percent residing on or near tribal lands in central Louisiana.
