U.S. DOT and FTA Updates

Effective May 9, 2024, U.S. DOT is amending its Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) program regulations. The final rule updates the personal net worth and program size thresholds for inflation, modernizes rules for counting material suppliers, incorporates procedural flexibilities enacted during the COVID–19 pandemic, and updates other areas.

U.S. DOT's Promising Practices for Meaningful Public Involvement in Transportation Decision-Making contains promising practices around meaningful public involvement and participation that can help U.S. DOT funding recipients comply with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (NEPA), and other existing requirements. For example, The Alaska DOT recruits community volunteers to serve as Inuit interpreters for council meetings and meetings in rural areas.

On April 16, 2024, the U.S. Department of Transportation published an amendment to the FY24 Safe Streets and Roads for All (SS4A) Notice of Funding Opportunity.

The FHWA Office of Tribal Transportation published FY2023 Tribal Shares and Planning Funds. Tribal Transportation Program formula funds (known as Tribal shares) are sent to Tribes and the Bureau of Indian Affairs.

The Congressional Research Service (CRS) published American Indian, Alaska Native, and Tribal Population Data, based on 2020 U.S. Census data. In 2020, the Census Bureau counted 9,666,058 people who identified as American Indian/Alaska Native. A chart lists self-identified population figures for 10 Tribes in the U.S.

Effective Communications with Travelers who are Deafblind is a video that highlights employees of the Lighthouse for the Blind and the DeafBlind Service Center in Seattle, Washington, along with Sound Transit passengers and staff.

NHTSA published a proposed rule on a new Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) on electric-powered vehicles. This would add performance and risk mitigation requirements for propulsion batteries and would require manufacturers to submit standardized emergency response information to NHTSA's website.
