Opportunity Summary:
The Western Tribal Technical Assistance Program (TTAP) Center grant opportunity is a U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) discretionary funding announcement to select one recipient to operate the Western TTAP Center serving American Indian tribal governments in California and Nevada. The award is structured as a cooperative agreement, meaning FHWA expects to work closely with the recipient during implementation rather than providing a hands-off grant. The overall purpose is to strengthen tribal transportation capacity by delivering practical training, technical assistance, and the transfer of transportation-related technology and know-how to tribes within the covered region.
Under this opportunity, the selected organization would run the TTAP Center as part of a broader national framework. TTAP is the tribal component of FHWA's Local Technical Assistance Program (LTAP), and it is implemented as a cooperative effort between FHWA and the Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA). The Center's work is centered on moving technical and program information into real-world use by tribal governments and tribal transportation programs. That includes sharing guidance, best practices, and tools that primarily originate from FHWA and BIA, as well as from state Departments of Transportation, tribal DOTs and transportation departments, tribal governments, and the Intertribal Transportation Association. In practice, this typically means organizing and delivering training courses, workshops, peer exchanges, and on-demand technical support that help tribes plan, design, build, maintain, and manage transportation systems and programs more effectively.
Funding for this opportunity is up to an estimated total of $1,500,000, with an award ceiling of $1,500,000 and no stated minimum award amount (award floor of $0). The announcement anticipates making a single award. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement, which reduces barriers for applicants that may not have non-federal funds available. The funding is associated with CFDA number 20.200, Highway Research and Development Program, and the activity category is transportation.
Eligibility is listed as unrestricted, meaning it is open to any type of entity, subject to any additional eligibility clarifications that may appear in the full announcement text. The application timeline shows the opportunity was posted April 4, 2012, with an original closing date of May 7, 2012, and a current closing date of May 8, 2012, at 4:00 PM Eastern Time. The opportunity later archived on September 30, 2012. For administrative or technical difficulties accessing the full announcement, the listed FHWA agreement officer contact is Rick Murray at 202-366-4250 or rick.murray@dot.gov.
In short, this opportunity is about selecting a single organization to serve as the Western region hub for tribal transportation training and technical assistance for California and Nevada tribes, operating in close coordination with FHWA and in alignment with the TTAP/LTAP system, and focusing on getting reliable transportation program knowledge and practices into the hands of tribal governments and their transportation staff.
