Eligible projects for the TTP Safety Fund include:

  • Develop/update transportation safety plans
  • Safety data assessment, improvement, & analysis

  • Infrastructure improvements as listed in 23 U.S.C. 148(a)(4)

What is TTPSF?

Transportation fatalities/injuries severely impact the quality of life in Indian country.

Each year under BIL, as enacted by the Infrastructure Investment & Jobs Act (Public Law 117-58), 4% of the available Tribal Transportation Program funds are set aside to address transportation safety issues identified by federally recognized Indian tribes through a competitive, discretionary grant program.

For questions regarding the TTP Safety Fund, see FHWA's TTPSF FAQ.
