The FAST Act passed in December, 2015. This 5-year surface transportation authorization also includes Tribal Transit. The FAST Act is in affect through 2020.
Below is a template resolution for Tribes to consider supporting current legislation the U.S. Senate Environmental & Public Works (EPW)
Committee submitted, titled: America's Transportation & Infrastructure Act (ATIA) of 2019, and is numbered; S.2302, which increased funding for certain Tribal Transportion Programs that is within their committee's responsabilities. (Tribal Transit is under the Senate Finance, Housing...Committee and is in the process of devloping their part of the Transportation Bill, the Senate Finance Committee needs to consider how to pay for the entire bill and the House "side" needs to develop their considerations for the Bill. Tribes are encouraged to consider supporting ATIA of 2019, as all other Bills in Congress are likely to now center around ATIA of 2019.
