About this file
This document is a Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) for the Tribal Transportation Safety Strategy Pilot Program (TTSSP), a $3 million cooperative agreement funded through the FY 2024 House Appropriations Committee (Report #118-154). The program, administered by the Office of the Assistant Secretary for Research and Technology (OST-R) under Assistance Listing 20.909, aims to engineer next-generation safety infrastructure and reduce traffic fatalities in Tribal communities. The total project target is $3 million, consisting of a $2 million federal award with a mandatory $1 million non-federal match (50% minimum). The application deadline is August 28, 2026 (11:59 PM EDT), and Opportunity Number TRIBALSAFETY-OSTR24 should be used when applying.
The program requires a consortium hub-and-spoke structure with an accredited institution of higher education as the mandatory lead, partnering with Tribal communities and leaders, transportation practitioners, and industry/non-profit organizations. The project is structured in three phases over approximately three years: Phase 1 (6 months) focuses on research and AI data analysis to investigate crash trends and develop a Tribal Transportation Strategic Safety Plan steering committee; Phase 2 (12 months) involves plan development and tool building, including drafting the updated TTSSP, building a centralized web portal, and creating pilot training tools; Phase 3 (18 months) requires selecting a high-fatality Tribal partner community and implementing a demonstration infrastructure safety improvement project. Core deliverables include producing publicly accessible safety tools and guidelines, collecting needed crash data for planning purposes, and delivering policy briefs documenting on-the-ground implementation outcomes and policy impacts.

Tribal Transportation Safety Strategy Pilot Program (TTSSP)
Appropriations
As set forth in the FY 2024 House Appropriations Committee Report, # 118-154:
“Tribal engagement in transportation safety. The Committee recommendation includes up to $2,000,000 to establish a pilot program evaluating traffic fatalities on tribal lands. The program should support research by universities with associated traffic safety and transportation research expertise in partnership with tribes that have the highest rates of traffic fatalities. Research should focus on the effectiveness of transportation safety resources and recommend crash mitigation strategies and identify best practices in tribal transportation safety.”
GOAL: Inform tribal communities about infrastructure safety strategy and provide data and tools to design for improvements
Objectives
• Develop a next-generation Tribal Transportation Strategic Safety Plan (TTSSP).
• Identify ways to collect needed crash data for planning purposes
• Produce publicly accessible safety tools and guidelines.
• Pilot Program: Demonstrate use of strategic, use updated design tools, and implement one infrastructure safety improvement in a high fatality tribal community
