Indian Highway Grant Application Instructions
The Highway Safety Act of 1966, U.S.C. Title 23, Section 402, provides U.S. Department of
Transportation funding to assist Indian tribes in implementing traffic safety projects. These projects are
designed to reduce the high number of traffic crashes and their resulting fatalities, injuries, and property
damage within Indian Country.
Tribes can use this application to apply for the Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA), Office of Justice
Services (OJS), Indian Highway Safety Program (IHSP) Grant Writing Training, Lifesavers Conference
attendance, or other traffic conferences. This grant application will cover registration fees and travel
expenses for tribal employees who work for federally recognized tribes in the realm of traffic
enforcement/safety. Complete the application in its entirety; do not leave any blank spaces/fields.
The BIA IHSP offers data driven performance-based grant opportunities. A traffic safety problem must
be identified; and be justified by data. These 402 funds are intended to supplement an existing traffic
safety program on the reservation.
IHSP grants are funded in the form of reimbursements. Tribes must first expend their funds and submit
documentation for reimbursement and consideration each month. Trip Report and other financial
reports (requests for reimbursement) are required. A Tribal Resolution and the Tribe’s most current
approved Indirect Cost Rate Agreement letter must be submitted with the application. Please contact the
IHSP at (505)563-3139 to inquire about BIA IHSP Grant Writing Training.
Lifesavers Conference grant application is due on March 1of the current year. BIA IHSP Grant Writing
and other traffic conference grant application deadline dates will be announced by the IHSP on a
training announcement provided to all federally recognized tribes.
