Opportunity Information: Apply for FHWA TTPSF 2021
The FY21 Tribal Transportation Program Safety Fund (TTPSF) is a discretionary grant opportunity from the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT), Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), designed to help federally recognized Tribal governments improve transportation safety and reduce deaths and serious injuries from incidents such as motor vehicle crashes. Through this Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO), FHWA made about $10.1 million available to support Tribal safety projects, with an expectation of roughly 90 awards, indicating that funds are intended to be spread across many Tribes and project locations rather than concentrated into a small number of large grants.
Funding under this opportunity focuses on four main project categories. First, it supports safety planning, which can include developing or updating safety-related plans that guide a Tribe's approach to identifying risks and selecting effective countermeasures. Second, it supports data assessment, improvement, and analysis activities, recognizing that strong crash and roadway data are often the foundation for targeting the most serious safety problems and documenting results. Third, it supports systemic roadway departure countermeasures and infrastructure improvements, aimed at reducing run-off-road and lane-departure crashes through proven, network-wide strategies rather than only addressing single high-crash locations. Fourth, it supports other eligible safety activities consistent with 23 U.S.C. 148(a)(4), which broadly covers Highway Safety Improvement Program-type safety efforts and allows flexibility for Tribes to propose projects that fit their specific transportation safety needs.
The applicant eligibility for TTPSF is limited to Native American Tribal governments that are federally recognized. The assistance is provided as a grant under CFDA number 20.205, and the opportunity is categorized under transportation-related funding.
For timing and submission logistics, the NOFO was posted July 8, 2021, with an application deadline of September 9, 2021. A key administrative detail is that applications were not accepted through Grants.gov. Instead, applicants were required to apply through the TTPSF program webpage using the "apply now" option. FHWA directed applicants to download and use the official application materials and instructions available on the program site, including a systemic roadway departure risk assessment form when applicable, along with the full NOFO and associated application guidance located at https://highways.dot.gov/federal-lands/programs-tribal/safety/funds.Apply for FHWA TTPSF 2021
