About the TTP
The Tribal Transit Program (TTP), also referred to as the Public Transportation on Indian Reservations Program, provides funds for planning, public transportation capital projects, operating costs, job access reverse commute projects, and the acquisition of public transportation service to tribes located in rural areas (those with a population under 50,000).
