Specifically, the funding will support automating the checking of in-state license history and violations during the permitting and licensing process, direct posting of medical certificates, variances, and skills performance evaluations to the state system, and implementing a Test Result and Applicant Search web service for the Commercial Skills Test Information Management System. Completion is scheduled for September 2026. The award aims to help Rhode Island comply with commercial driver licensing requirements under the federal program, which provides funding for priority activities related to commercial drivers including research, demonstration projects, and special initiatives.
