Key highlights on regulations, policies, and program funding for the transportation professional

Tribal High Priority Projects Program

Posted: 10/6/2026

The Tribal High Priority Projects (HPP) Program makes available $9M in Fiscal Year 2027 to (1) an Indian tribe or governmental subdivision of an Indian tribe whose annual allocation of funding under the Tribal Transportation Program (TTP) is insufficient to complete the tribe's highest priority project, or (2) any Indian tribe that has an emergency or disaster occur on a tribal transportation facility that renders the facility impassable or unusable. 

The Tribal HPP Program is a nationwide priority program modeled after the Indian Reservation Roads High Priority Projects Program (IRRHPP) and developed through negotiated rulemaking. The IRRHPP was formerly administered through regulations from 2005 through 2012.


Applications must be submitted by January 31, 2027. Learn More
