Tribal Transit Program Funds
[Public Transportation on Indian Reservations 5311(c)]

Safe, Accountable, Flexible,  Efficient Transportation Equity Act: A Legacy for Users (SAFETEA-LU) created a new Tribal Transit Program, and funds it as a takedown under the Section 5311 program. Under the Tribal Transit Program, Federally-recognized Indian tribes are eligible direct recipients. Based upon an annual national competitive selection process, The Federal Transit Administration (FTA) awards Tribal Transit grants directly to eligible Indian tribes.
