Transportation Funding Opportunities for Tribal Nations

DOT Resources

DOT maintains a calendar of Key Notices of Funding Opportunity that lists anticipated dates for upcoming Notices of Funding Opportunity (NOFOs) for key programs within the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law (BIL) and the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA), as well as adjacent programs that support BIL and IRA objectives. This is an excellent resource to find out when these significant and popular grant opportunities will become available and to track application deadlines.




Key Notices Calendar

The USDOT Discretionary Grants Dashboard provides communities with an overview of discretionary grant opportunities that can help meet their transportation infrastructure needs. The Dashboard also includes Federal grant programs outside of DOT that may be of particular interest to rural communities. The below list spotlights just a few of the currently open funding opportunities – visit the Grants Dashboard to find more or check out the calendar of open and upcoming grant opportunities!

Proven Safety Countermeasures in Rural Communities


The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) developed a new resource, Proven Safety Countermeasures in Rural Communities. The resource provides information on 28 Proven Safety Countermeasures (PSCs) to reduce fatal and serious injury crashes on roads nationwide related to speed management, roadway departure, intersections, pedestrians/bicycles, and other cross-cutting issues. These PSCs are applicable for a range of contexts, road types, and governing agencies across the country. The PSCs can offer significant and measurable impacts across an agency’s rural road network as part of their approach to improving safety. The PSCs can support agencies with implementation of the Safe System Approach, which seeks to build and reinforce multiple layers of protection to both prevent crashes from happening and minimize the harm caused to those involved when crashes do occur.
