Opportunity Information: Apply for FTA 2024 012 TPM TRTR
The FY 2024 Competitive Funding Opportunity: Tribal Transit Program is a discretionary grant competition administered by the U.S. Department of Transportation's Federal Transit Administration (FTA). It provides a total of $9,169,076 in competitive funding under Assistance Listing (CFDA) 20.509 for projects connected to public transportation on Indian reservations. The program is commonly referred to as the Public Transportation on Indian Reservations (Tribal Transit) Program and is focused on supporting transit services that operate in rural areas.
Eligibility is limited to federally recognized Native American tribal governments. A key requirement noted in the opportunity is that eligible applicants must be providing public transportation services in rural areas, which signals that this funding is geared toward tribes that already operate transit (or are positioned as transit providers) in rural communities and are seeking federal support through this competitive process. Because this is a competitive discretionary program rather than a formula allocation, applicants generally need to submit a strong, well-justified proposal that explains their transit needs, planned activities, and expected benefits.
The opportunity is identified by Funding Opportunity Number FTA 2024 012 TPM TRTR. The funding instrument is a grant, and the activity category is transportation. The application closing date listed is November 13, 2024. The FTA anticipates making about 50 awards under this competition. An award ceiling is not specified in the provided listing, which typically means individual award sizes may vary based on project scope, applicant need, and the overall level of demand and merit among applications.
In practical terms, this funding is intended to strengthen or sustain public transit on Indian reservations in rural settings. While the listing does not spell out specific eligible project types, Tribal Transit Program grants commonly support operating assistance and capital needs tied to rural tribal transit service, such as vehicles, related equipment, and other improvements that directly enable public transportation service delivery. Applicants should be prepared to describe how the proposed grant-funded work will maintain, expand, or improve rural public transit for their community, and how it aligns with federal transit program expectations.
