Statewide ifta/IRP training, ifta staffing, and employee development initiatives

The South Carolina Department of Transportation (SCDOT) received a $443,509 Project Grant from the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) under the Fuel Tax Evasion-Intergovernmental Enforcement Effort program (CFDA 20.240) on September 24, 2025. This award funds statewide International Fuel Tax Agreement (IFTA) and International Registration Plan (IRP) training, IFTA staffing enhancements, and employee development initiatives. The project extends through December 31, 2028, and is designed to expand and enhance intergovernmental enforcement efforts aimed at reducing federal and state fuel tax evasion through improved compliance activities and workforce capacity.

Under this initiative, SCDOT will deliver training programs and professional development activities related to motor fuel tax collection and IFTA/IRP compliance, while simultaneously building internal staffing capabilities and institutional expertise. The program prioritizes innovation and coordination among multiple public agencies, with SCDOT's comprehensive approach addressing both the technical knowledge and human resource requirements necessary to strengthen fuel tax enforcement operations across South Carolina.
