The Executive Office of the Commonwealth of Kentucky received a $650,000 project grant award from the Department of Transportation's Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration to support several commercial vehicle safety initiatives through September 2026. Funded under the Motor Carrier Safety Assistance High Priority Activities Grants and Cooperative Agreements program (CFDA 20.237), the award will enhance truck parking information management systems, maintain roadside screening systems, and replace roadside screening equipment. These projects aim to improve commercial vehicle screening and inspection selection at fixed weigh stations and roadside locations, reduce parking space search times for commercial drivers, and strengthen enforcement confidence in screening data. The updated systems and equipment are intended to allow safer carriers to face less disruption while identifying those with safety, credentialing, or licensing issues for compliance action. The projects also seek to advance highway safety by helping enforcement identify and remove unsafe vehicles from roadways.
