The Department of Transportation Federal Transit Administration awarded a $399,520 Project Grant to the Oneida Nation under the Formula Grants for Rural Areas and Tribal Transit Program (CFDA 20.509). The grant funds operating assistance for the Nation's public transportation services from October 2021 through July 2022. The purpose is to help address unanticipated cost increases due to the Covid-19 pandemic for expenses like additional cleaning, personal protective equipment, and supplies. The Oneida Nation will use the funds for regular business operations including wages, salaries, supplies, and maintenance to continue providing affordable transportation options to community members and surrounding areas. This allows access to jobs, medical appointments, education and other opportunities. As a direct recipient, the Oneida Nation implements the grant without subawards.
