The Department of Transportation Federal Transit Administration awarded a $899,975 Project Grant to the Muscogee Creek Nation under the Formula Grants for Rural Areas and Tribal Transit Program (CFDA 20.509). The grant will fund transit services through December 2025 to improve mobility for tribal citizens and the general public residing within the eleven counties of the Muscogee Creek Nation reservation in Oklahoma. Specifically, the Muscogee Creek Nation will utilize the funding to operate its transit system and provide greater access to job opportunities, education, healthcare, and other services as necessary within the boundaries of the reservation. As a subrecipient, the Agri-Business Complex Division of the Muscogee Creek Nation will directly oversee transit service delivery. The timely award date of September 20, 2021 will allow services to continue uninterrupted and help the Muscogee Creek Nation prepare for, respond to, and ensure continuity of transit operations during the ongoing coronavirus pandemic.
