The Public Utilities Commission of Ohio (PUCO) was awarded a $156,671 Project Grant from the U.S. Department of Transportation's Pipeline and Hazardous Material Safety Administration (PHMSA) under the Hazardous Materials State Inspection (HMSI) Grant Program (CFDA 20.707). The grant will support PUCO's efforts to conduct inspections of hazardous materials (HAZMAT) shippers in Ohio to ensure compliance with transportation safety requirements and reduce risks associated with the transport of hazardous materials. The grant performance period is from October 1, 2024, to September 30, 2025. This award is part of PHMSA's broader initiative to provide financial assistance to state agencies for state-based HAZMAT shipper inspections, with the goal of enhancing safety and regulatory compliance in the transportation of hazardous materials across different jurisdictions.

Phmsa, through this nofo, is requesting applications from states for hazardous materials state inspection (hmsi) funding to carry out state-based inspections of hazmat shippers to increase compliance and ensure safe transport of hazardous materials.
