The Federal Highway Administration awarded the Alaska Department of Transportation & Public Facilities $215,000 on July 15, 2026, under the High Priority–Commercial Motor Vehicle (HP-CMV) Grant program (CFDA 20.244) to support commercial motor vehicle safety initiatives.

The award carries a period of performance through September 30, 2031, with place of performance in Cooper Landing, Alaska. The HP-CMV program funds public awareness and education on CMV safety, targeting unsafe driving in high-risk crash corridors, demonstrating new safety technologies, improving safety data, and other projects that reduce crashes, injuries, and fatalities involving large trucks and buses. The program is available to state government agencies, local governments, federally recognized Native American tribal governments, institutions of higher education, and non-profit organizations with 501(c)(3) status; for-profit organizations and individuals are not eligible. The maximum period of performance for an HP-CMV grant is three fiscal years, though FMCSA may award a shorter period depending on project complexity and necessity. Grant recipients must retain all project data, documents, reports, records, contracts, and supporting materials during performance and for three years after the final voucher is submitted.
