But the data shows that 30 miles of U.S. Highway 26 running through the Warm Springs Reservation bucks that broader trend. The total number of crashes recorded on this rural stretch of road broke a 10-year record in 2022.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"mailto:?subject=Feds%20send%20$15M%20to%20Warm%20Springs%20highway%20safety%20projects&amp;body=https:\/\/www.opb.org\/article\/2024\/06\/25\/highway-26-warm-springs-improvements\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/sharer\/sharer.php?u=https:\/\/www.opb.org\/article\/2024\/06\/25\/highway-26-warm-springs-improvements\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/intent\/tweet?url=https:\/\/www.opb.org\/article\/2024\/06\/25\/highway-26-warm-springs-improvements\/&amp;text=Feds%20send%20$15M%20to%20Warm%20Springs%20highway%20safety%20projects\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><\/a><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>OPB Federal lawmakers announced nearly $43 million in funding Tuesday for transportation infrastructure headed to Warm Springs, Salem and Portland, with a third of the money aimed at reshaping a highway running through the Warm Springs Reservation.
