The announcement will take place at Yellowstone National Park’s Glen Creek Trailhead from 11 a.m. to 12 p.m. MST, with media asked to arrive by 9:30 a.m. for a pre-event briefing.
Key participants include Shailen Bhatt, Federal Highway Administrator; Joan Mooney, Principal Deputy Assistant Secretary for Policy, Management and Budget at the Department of the Interior; and Cam Sholly, Yellowstone National Park Superintendent.
The grants are expected to have a significant impact on transportation infrastructure, enhancing safety and accessibility for all park visitors and residents of Tribal lands.
