Fiscal Years 2024 Through 2026 Nationally Significant Federal Lands and Tribal Projects Competitive Grant Program
Grant Opportunity Analysis
The U.S. Department of Transportation’s Federal Highway Administration is offering the Fiscal Years 2024 Through 2026 Nationally Significant Federal Lands and Tribal Projects Competitive Grant Program to fund transportation projects on tribal and federal lands. The application package requires a detailed project summary, eligibility information, total project cost and funding request, project location, NEPA status, a statement of work, and a full budget showing federal, non-federal, and any previously incurred costs. States, counties, and local governments may apply only with sponsorship from a federal lands managing agency or Tribal government, and applications are evaluated for merit, readiness, innovation, and DOT priority considerations such as reducing congestion and improving travel in rural communities. The program will award up to $165 million across FY 2024 through 2026, requires cost sharing, has no minimum or maximum award amount, and the application deadline is July 16, 2026.
Eligible Applicants
States, counties, and units of local government may apply for the program, but only if sponsored by an FLMA or Tribal government. Applications received from States, counties, and units of local government must include a letter from their sponsor, verifying the sponsorship. The letter should also specify the lead recipient for purposes of project financial administration, and the letter should include a description of the roles and responsibilities of both the sponsor and the State, county, or unit of local government. A list of FLMA Sponsorship Coordinators can be obtained from the NSFLTP Program contacts listed on page 5 of this NOFO, or at the following Website–https://flh.fhwa.dot.gov/Programs/nsfltp/.
