On August 17, The United States Department of Transportation announced the funding of two state infrastructure projects and one national program totaling $100 million and $125 million respectively. The two state projects are found in Alaska and Mississippi.

 
The Native Village of Eyak in Alaska will receive $45.7 million to build a highway, dock support facilities, and boat ramp at the Marine Tribal Transportation and Shepard Oil Spill Response Facility. The press release from the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) stated, "The grant will improve transportation access to the facility, which is currently under construction and will serve as a multi-modal transportation and oil spill emergency response center for tribal members and the broader community of Cordova and the surrounding area."

Mississippi's Natchez Trace Parkway is being improved with the remaining $54.3 million that went to The National Park Service to resurface, restore, and rehabilitate 83 miles of pavement. The funds will also improve safety through the installation of audible pavement markings and meet the transportation needs of underserved communities.

The other $125 million went to the US DoT's National Significant Federal Lands and Tribal Projects (NSFLTP) Program. "The NSFLTP provides Federal funding for construction, reconstruction, or rehabilitation of multi-modal transportation facilities that are situated within, adjacent to, or provide access to Federal or Tribal lands. A project of national significance is typically one that is vital to the surrounding community. In many cases, federal land management agencies and tribal governments cannot afford to complete these projects on their own because it would exhaust their financial resources."
