Opportunity Summary:
The Mountain West Region Tribal Technical Assistance Program (TTAP) Center opportunity was a Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) discretionary funding announcement (Funding Opportunity Number DTFH6114RA00004) to select one recipient to operate a regional TTAP Center serving American Indian tribal governments in Arizona, Colorado, New Mexico, and Utah. The award was structured as a cooperative agreement, which means FHWA expected to remain actively involved with the recipient in carrying out the work, rather than simply issuing a grant with minimal federal participation. The effort sits under the Highway Research and Development Program (CFDA 20.200) and is part of the broader FHWA Local Technical Assistance Program (LTAP), with TTAP being the tribal-focused component of that national technical assistance framework.
At its core, the purpose of the Mountain West TTAP Center was to strengthen tribal transportation capacity by delivering transportation technology transfer, training, and hands-on technical assistance tailored to tribal needs in the region. The recipient would function as a hub that helps tribal transportation programs access practical guidance, tools, and up-to-date program information, with an emphasis on translating federal and partner agency resources into usable support for day-to-day planning, project delivery, safety, maintenance, and program management. The TTAP model is designed to help tribal transportation staff and leadership build skills, implement best practices, and stay current with evolving federal requirements and funding programs that affect tribal transportation systems.
A major expectation of the award was active coordination with FHWA in implementing TTAP activities. The Center would also serve as a conduit for information and expertise coming from key sources such as FHWA, the Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA), state Departments of Transportation, tribal Departments of Transportation, tribal governments, and other tribal transportation associations. In practice, this typically includes organizing and delivering trainings, workshops, webinars, peer exchanges, and targeted technical assistance; disseminating guidance and research; and connecting tribes with relevant subject-matter experts and partner organizations. The overarching theme is information transfer and capacity-building, ensuring tribes in the Mountain West region can more effectively plan, build, operate, and maintain transportation infrastructure and services.
Funding was expected to support a single award, with estimated total funding of $1,510,000 and an award ceiling of $1,510,000; the award floor was listed as $150,000. There was no cost sharing or matching requirement indicated. Eligibility was listed as unrestricted (open to any type of entity), subject to any additional eligibility clarifications in the full announcement. The opportunity was posted January 22, 2014, created February 18, 2014, and had an application deadline of February 21, 2014.
For applicants or interested parties who had trouble accessing the announcement, the listed contact was Freida Byrd, Agreement Specialist, at 202-366-6547.
