Description
The Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA) is soliciting proposals for the Indian Highway Safety Law Enforcement Grants. The grants are intended to assist Indian tribes in implementing traffic safety projects to reduce the number of traffic crashes, deaths, injuries, and property damage within Indian Country. The grants are reimbursable, and tribes must first expend their funds and submit documentation for reimbursement consideration each month.
