Abstract:The federal government has invested a significant amount of money in tribal transit in recent years. Since the enactment of the current highway bill (Safe, Accountable, Flexible, Efficient Transportation Equity Act: A Legacy for Users (SAFETEA-LU)) in 2005, the Federal Transit Administration’s (FTA) 5311(c) tribal transit program has distributed $60 million to federally recognized tribes and Alaska Native villages in rural areas. The money has been used to plan, start, and enhance local transit services. In 2009, an additional $17 million in American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) stimulus money was granted to tribes and Alaska Native villages to finance transit-related capital improvement projects.
