Opportunity Information: Apply for 2023TTPSF
The 2023 Tribal Transportation Program Safety Fund (TTPSF) is a discretionary grant opportunity offered by the U.S. Department of Transportation through the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA). It is designed specifically for federally recognized Native American tribal governments and supports transportation safety work on public roads in Tribal communities. The overall purpose is to reduce serious injuries and fatalities by funding projects that are guided by a transportation safety plan and that either fix or improve a hazardous road location or feature, or address an identified highway safety problem, consistent with the eligible project types referenced in 23 U.S.C. 148(a)(4).
A central theme of this program is planning and decision-making that is driven by good data rather than guesswork. TTPSF strongly emphasizes the development of strategic transportation safety plans, encouraging Tribes to use a structured, evidence-based process to identify their most pressing safety needs, understand where and why crashes and risky conditions occur, and select the best countermeasures to address those issues. In practice, this means applicants are expected to tie proposed activities to documented safety concerns and to show how the work fits into a broader plan for improving safety outcomes over time.
FHWA outlines four broad categories of eligible work under TTPSF. The first is transportation safety plans, which can include developing, updating, or implementing a Tribal transportation safety plan that prioritizes safety risks and sets a roadmap for action. The second category covers data assessment, improvement, and analysis activities, reflecting the program focus on strengthening crash data, roadway inventory data, and analytical capacity so Tribes can better diagnose safety problems and track progress. The third category focuses on systemic roadway departure countermeasures and infrastructure improvements, which typically target common and severe crash types where vehicles leave the roadway and result in serious outcomes; these systemic approaches are meant to be applied across a network based on risk factors rather than only at a single crash hotspot. The fourth category is other eligible activities as listed in 23 U.S.C. 148(a)(4), which captures additional safety strategies and projects that meet the statutory definition and remain consistent with an adopted safety plan.
Administratively, this opportunity is listed as Funding Opportunity Number 2023TTPSF and is associated with CFDA (now Assistance Listing) number 20.205. The application deadline for the original posting was March 9, 2023. The award ceiling listed for the opportunity is $21,238,560, and FHWA anticipated making about 90 awards. In short, TTPSF is aimed at helping Tribes plan for and implement practical, proven safety improvements on public roads, with a strong preference for projects that are grounded in data, aligned with a strategic safety plan, and clearly targeted to measurable safety problems or hazardous roadway conditions.Apply for 2023TTPSF
