DOT Re-Established Seven Regional Centers for the Regional Tribal Technical Assistance Program

DOT re-established seven regional centers for the Regional Tribal Technical Assistance Program (TTAP), replacing a single, centralized location. The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) under the Trump Administration launched a two-year pilot program to test administering technical assistance from a headquarters location, which concluded in Dec. 2019. These new TTAP centers were established to serve the 12 Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA) regions, relying on inter-agency coordination to provide tribal communities training and technology services to assist them in accessing federal funding to modernize and strengthen their transportation infrastructure.
