This federal Project Grant award of $1,425,464 from the Federal Transit Administration (FTA) Formula Grants for Rural Areas and Tribal Transit Program (CFDA 20.509) will enable the Native Village of Unalakleet, a federally recognized tribal government in Alaska, to acquire essential equipment for year-round maintenance of the transit corridors in their community.

The funding will be used to purchase a dump truck, loader, skid steer, and grader. These vehicles will be used to haul gravel and rocks, remove snow during winter, and maintain the dirt road surfaces during spring and summer. This project is expected to decrease the need for costly bus repairs and flat tires resulting from icy, rutted, and potholed road conditions. As a result, transit ridership is anticipated to increase due to fewer service interruptions caused by unsafe roads. The intended beneficiaries include tribal elders, the general public, and residents of new housing subdivisions and an assisted living facility.
