The Department of Transportation's Federal Transit Administration awarded a $988,974 Project Grant under the Formula Grants for Rural Areas and Tribal Transit Program (CFDA 20.509) to the Hopi Tribe in Arizona. The grant will support the Hopi Tribe's public transportation services through Hopi Senom Transit from October 2022 through September 2025. Specifically, $264,004 will fund the purchase of a 30-passenger bus to expand transit routes to Flagstaff, Arizona. An additional $230,483 will support operating assistance, including hiring one new transit vehicle operator to address staffing shortages. Funding will also cover rising operating costs such as $100,000 for fuel, $50,000 for preventative maintenance, $3,000 for personal protective equipment, $22,000 for tires, and $13,790 for general expenses. No local match is required given the Hopi Tribe's tax-exempt status. The grant aims to improve rural and tribal public transportation accessibility and reliability in remote areas of the Hopi reservation and surrounding communities.
