Comanche nation transportation program funding FY 2026

The Federal Highway Administration awarded Comanche Nation $3,271,916.95 on November 18, 2025, under the Tribal Transportation Program (CFDA 20.289) to fund transportation infrastructure and road access on tribal lands in Oklahoma through September 30, 2026.

The award provides transportation funding under the FHWA OTT Program Agreement for fiscal year 2026. The Tribal Transportation Program contributes to economic development, self-determination, and employment of Native Americans by ensuring safe and adequate transportation and public road access to and within Indian reservations and tribal lands.

Comanche Nation, a federally recognized tribe headquartered in Elgin, Oklahoma, serves approximately 17,000 enrolled members and surrounding communities in southwest Oklahoma. The tribe operates as a direct federal grant recipient across health, social services, transportation, environmental, and cultural preservation programs. This award represents one of several large discretionary and formula grants the tribe holds; recent parallel awards include a $5.94 million Energy Community Revitalization Program grant for well remediation and a $13.6 million Child Care and Development Block Grant Discretionary award. Place of performance is Oklahoma City, Oklahoma.
