Opportunity Summary:
The Tribal Transportation Program Safety Funds (TTPSF) opportunity is a discretionary grant program offered by the U.S. Department of Transportation through the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA). It was announced through a Notice of Funding Availability (NOFA) published in the Federal Register and is focused specifically on improving transportation safety in Tribal communities. The program falls under CFDA 20.205, Highway Planning and Construction, and is intended to support practical, on-the-ground safety work as well as the planning and program development that help Tribes prevent roadway injuries and fatalities.
A total of $8.6 million is available under this NOFA, and applicants are invited to request funding across four main categories. The first category is Safety Planning, which typically covers activities like developing or updating safety plans, identifying crash trends and risk factors, prioritizing safety projects, and strengthening data and processes that guide long-term safety decision-making. The second category is Engineering Improvements, aimed at physical or design-related changes that reduce crash risk, such as roadway and intersection safety enhancements, signage and striping improvements, pedestrian safety features, and other infrastructure-based countermeasures. The third category is Enforcement and Emergency Services, which can support efforts that strengthen traffic safety enforcement and improve emergency response capabilities tied to roadway incidents. The fourth category is Education Programs, designed to fund safety education and outreach that can influence safer behavior among drivers, pedestrians, and other road users, including community-based campaigns and training.
Eligibility is limited to federally recognized Native American tribal governments. The NOFA states there is no cost-sharing or matching requirement, meaning applicants are not required to provide a non-federal match to compete for or receive funds. The funding instrument type is listed as "Other," and the opportunity is categorized under Transportation.
The application deadline is September 19, 2013. While many federal opportunities require applicants to register in SAM.gov, this NOFA explicitly notes that SAM.gov registration is not required for this program. Applications must be submitted directly to FHWA by email at ttpsf@dot.gov, following the preparation and submission instructions provided by FHWA. Full application guidance is posted on FHWA's website at: http://flh.fhwa.dot.gov/programs/ttp/safety/ttpsf_2013.htm
