This $186,480 project grant from the Department of Transportation's Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration will fund the Northwest Florida State College's recruitment and enrollment of qualified students and underserved community members in its Commercial Driver's License program. The college anticipates enrolling at least 66 students with tuition costs of $4,500 each.

The grant supports the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration's Commercial Motor Vehicle Operator Safety Training Grants program, which aims to expand the number of commercial driver's license holders who have enhanced operator safety training. This helps reduce crashes and severity on U.S. roads involving commercial motor vehicles, as defined in Title 49 of the U.S. Code Section 31301. The funding will allow the Northwest Florida State College to provide its accredited commercial driver training program to more individuals through July 2024.
