Tribe receives $250,000
transportation grant
The Confederated Tribes of Grand Ronde has been selected to receive
a 2.5-year, $250,000 Statewide Transportation Improvement Fund grant
that will help fund public transit service operations to Dallas and also local
circulator trips around Grand Ronde in between trips to Dallas.

Police Department has
non-emergency text line
The Grand Ronde Tribal Police Department has created a non-emergency
text line at 541-921-2927.
“Even though this is mostly designed for children, I don’t want adults
thinking that they can’t use it as well. If you have a non-emergency situation
or question, feel free to contact my offi cer via text through this line,” said
Grand Ronde Tribal Police Chief Jake McKnight. “When one of my offi cers
receives the text, they will call you back when they have time.”
McKnight said that emergency situations still require calling 911.
For more information, contact McKnight at 503-879-1474. n
