The Tribal Technical Assistance Program (TTAP), administered by FHWA Office of Tribal Transportation, provides essential training, education, technical assistance, and technology transfer services to help Native American and Alaska Native tribes manage and develop their transportation infrastructure.
Originally created in 1991, the program recently transitioned to a "Next Generation" regional model featuring seven distinct TTAP Centers that serve the 12 Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA) regions across the country. These centers act as go-to local resources for tribal communities, building professional capacity and offering tailored support in areas such as road safety, construction management, planning, asset management, and maintenance, ultimately aiming to enhance the quality of life and ensure safe, efficient transportation networks within tribal lands
