Understanding the Indian Road Money Distribution for Eligible States

Mrs. Loving called the Department of the Interior for information on Indian road money. She wanted to know how many states are eligible, how the money is divided, if there are administrative fees, and why Oklahoma only receives approximately $1 million out of several million dollars available. The Department of the Interior provided information on the amount of money allocated for Indian reservation roads and bridges, eligibility requirements, and how funds are distributed. They also mentioned that Osage Indian headright payments are not put into a special fund for road improvements, but the state of Oklahoma receives a gross production tax on oil and gas produced on the Osage reservation.
