The U.S. Department of Transportation’s Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) announced Thursday that it has authorized $20.9 million in grant awards for 88 tribal projects to reduce roadway fatalities and serious injuries on tribal lands. The grants from the Tribal Transportation Program Safety Fund include $3.6 million in construction funds for nine projects in Montana to improve travel safety on five of the state’s seven Indian Reservations.
