Opportunity Summary:
The Tribal Technical Assistance Program (TTAP) Center opportunity is a Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) discretionary funding competition to select a recipient to operate a regional TTAP Center based in Colorado and serving tribal communities across Arizona, Colorado, New Mexico, and Utah. The main purpose of the award is to strengthen tribal transportation capability by delivering hands-on technical assistance, targeted training, and practical transportation technology transfer to American Indian tribal governments in that four-state region. TTAP is described as a cooperative effort between FHWA and the Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA), and it functions as the tribal component of the broader FHWA Local Technical Assistance Program (LTAP). In plain terms, the selected organization would act as a regional hub that helps tribal transportation programs build skills, adopt proven practices, and solve real-world roadway and transportation challenges through education, outreach, and direct support.
The funding instrument is a cooperative agreement, which typically means FHWA expects to be substantially involved during the period of performance compared with a standard grant. While the announcement text provided does not spell out the day-to-day structure, cooperative agreements generally involve coordination with the federal agency on work planning, deliverables, and performance monitoring. The activity category is listed as "Other," clarified as Tribal Technical Assistance Program, and the opportunity is tied to CFDA 20.200, Highway Research and Development Program, reflecting the program emphasis on applied knowledge, methods, and effective practices rather than construction funding.
The opportunity was posted and created on July 25, 2008, with an application closing date of October 1, 2008. The maximum award amount (ceiling) is $1,400,000, and the minimum award amount (floor) is listed as $0. The notice states there is no cost sharing or matching requirement, meaning applicants are not required to provide non-federal match funds as a condition of award based on the data shown. Eligibility is described as "Unrestricted," indicating it is open to any type of applicant entity, subject to any additional eligibility clarifications that may appear in the full instructions.
Administratively, the opportunity is issued by the U.S. Department of Transportation, Federal Highway Administration, under Funding Opportunity Number DTFH61 08 RA 00015. Applicants who needed the full announcement or had trouble accessing it electronically were directed to contact Brittany Hall, Agreement Specialist, at 202-366-1533 or Brittany.Hall@dot.gov. The announcement also references an additional information link hosted on Grants.gov that would contain the official instructions and any detailed requirements for the TTAP Center’s proposed work plan, service area coverage, deliverables, reporting expectations, and selection criteria.
