The U.S. Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) awarded a $173,640 Project Grant (CFDA 20.235 - Commercial Motor Vehicle Operator Safety Training Grants) to Prince George's Community College in Maryland. The purpose of this award is to provide funding to recruit and enroll at least 28 qualified students, including members of underserved communities, in the college's Commercial Driver's License (CDL) program. The grant will support the delivery of enhanced commercial driver safety instruction and training over a two-year period ending on September 30, 2025. This project aims to help expand the number of CDL holders with specialized operator safety knowledge in order to reduce the severity and frequency of crashes involving commercial motor vehicles on U.S. roads.
